Video Head CleaningVideo head clogging

Good Picture Snowy Picture

Video head cleaning is needed when the play picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occurwhen playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive(wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the unit once does not improve thepicture, play it several times before requesting service.

Notes:• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

Video head cleaning

The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture from the tape during play. In the unlikely event that the headsbecome dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during play of a known goodtape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head cleaning systemor have them cleaned professionally.
