Video head cleaning
Video
head
clogging
The
video
heads
are
the means
by which
the TV/VCR/DVD
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
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,
have the TVNCR/DVD
checked
by qualified
service
personnel.
NOTES:
, DO NOT ATTEMPTTO
CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS
OR SERVICE
THE TV/VCR/DVD
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.
