Video head cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by
which the unit reads the picture from the
tape during playback. In the unlikely
event that the heads become dirty
enough to be clogged, no picture will be
played back. This can easily be deter-
mined if, during playback of a known
good tape, there is good sound, but no
picture (picture is extremely snowy). If
this is the case, have the unit checked
by qualified service personnel.
Notes:
•
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR
SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR 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.
