Built-in Head Cleaner
A clean video head helps produce a clear picture.
So, we have equipped your DECK with a built-in, non-
chemical head cleaning system that helps prevent
clogging of the video heads. Cleaning is performed
each time you load or unload a video cassette.
• This feature is preventative only, If your video
heads are seriously clogged, consider the use of
a chemical non-abrasive head cleaning kit or take
your DECK to a Servicentre (see p. 61).
