Video Head Cleaning

When playback pictures are noisy and hardly visible, or when no picture
appears, the video heads may be contaminated. In such a case, clean the
video heads using the V-25CL video head cleaning tape (not supplied), or
ask Sony service personnel to clean the video heads, with this service there
would be a standard charge.

Center nearest you.
Check the Video Heads after 1,000
Hours of Use
A video TV is a high precision machine. It must record on or play from
magnetic tapes on which the image signals from the colour TV or the
video camcorder are recorded.
The video heads or mechanical parts for transporting the tape are
contaminated or worn after extended use. You should have your video TV
checked after each 1,000 hours of use.
