The video heads are the means by which the VCR

reads pictures 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 determined if, during playback of a known good tape,

there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely

snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head

cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.

NOTES: • 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 CLOGGING

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

Video head cleaning is needed when the playback

picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads

are getting dirty and can occur when 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 VCR once does

not improve the picture, play it several times before

requesting service.
