Symptoms caused by contaminated video heads
• Normal picture
Sapphire tape cleaner
The unit incorporates a sapphire tape cleaner which cleans a video tape when it is
loaded. This cleaner can prevent the video heads from contamination by removing
dust or mold from a tape with the sapphire edge.
Head Condition Sensor
The Head Condition Sensor checks the video heads condition. If the heads are dirty, a
message will instruct you to insert a video head cleaning cassette.
Be sure to use the Sony T-25CLD, T-25CLW or E-25CLDR video head cleaning
cassette. If these cleaning cassettes are not available in your area, have the heads
cleaned at your nearest Sony service facility (a standard service charge will be
required).
