Introduction Cleaning video heads Magnetic video heads convert the videocassette into pictures on the screen during playback. Over a period of time, particles rub off the tape and are left on the heads. Using an old or poor quality tape together with dust and air particles, high temperature and humidity cause dirty heads. Dirty heads generally cause "snowy" pictures and, in some severe cases, blurred or interrupted pictures. A variety of products are available at video stores to clean tape heads. Use these products sparingly, because some are abrasive to the video heads. If normal head cleaning procedures do not resolve the problem, have the system checked by a qualified service technician. Foreign substances Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the VCP compartment. Be especially careful not to spill liquids of any kind onto the media controls or into the videocassette player. If liquid is accidentally spilled onto the system, immediately turn the system OFF and consult a qualified service technician. 5
