Symptoms caused by contaminated video heads
• Normal picture
Remedy
• Connect the AC power cord securely.
• Moisture condensation occurs. Turn the power off,
unplug the AC power cord and leave the unit to dry
for over one hour.
• Make sure the TV is set to the video channel. If you are
using a monitor, set it to video input.
• Adjust the tracking with the TRACKING NORM/
SLOW ?// buttons.
• The video heads are dirty (see below). Clean the video
heads using the Sony V-25CL video head cleaning
cassette. If this cleaning cassette is not available in your
area, have the heads cleaned at your nearest Sony
service facility (a standard service charge will be
required). Do not use a commercially available wet-
type cleaning cassette, as it may damage the video
heads.
• The video heads may have to be replaced. Consult
your local Sony dealer for more information.
• Adjust the vertical hold control on the TV or monitor.
• The tape is defective. Use a new tape.
• When you play a tape with the same sound recorded
on both the hi-fi and normal sound tracks, make sure
the AUDIO MIX option in the SET UP MENU is set to
OFF.
