Head Cleaning
Playing older or damaged tapes may eventually
cause video heads to become clogged.

• Use "dry" type head cleaning cassette
only.
(Part No. NV-TCL30PT is recommended.)
• Follow cleaning tape instructions carefully.
Excessive use of tape can shorten head life.
• If head clog symptoms persist, contact your
nearest Factory Service Center or
authorized Service Center (see p. 56).
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 Service
Center.
Cleaning DECK
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation holes
on the back sides and bottom of the cabinet. Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be
marred by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since
the materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust. We recommend using a nonabrasive,
antistatic cleaner and polisher.
