Symptoms caused by contaminated video heads
• Normal picture
Head Condition Sensor
The Head Condition Sensor checks the conditions of the video heads condition. If the
heads are dirty, a message will instruct you to insert a video head cleaning cassette.
(For SLV-EZ715AS/NZ only)
The VCR may temporarily switch to a different head and resume playback. To switch
the heads, press H PLAY while the "PUSH [PLAY] TO RESUME TEMPORARILY"
message appears on the screen. Although playback will resume, the sound will be
monaural. You may have to manually adjust the tracking to get a better picture (see
"Adjusting the picture" on page 46). When playback is finished, be sure to clean the
heads with 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).
