AUTO HEAD CLEANING
¡
Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or
remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.
¡ Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted
while the TV programme reception is clear. Dirt
accumulated on the video heads after long periods of
use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause
this problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears
during playback, the video heads in your DVD/VCR
may need to be cleaned.
1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and pur-
chase a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.
2. If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the prob-
lem, consult our nearest Authorized Service Center.
NOTES:
• Remember to read the instructions included with the
video head cleaner before use.
• Clean video heads only when problems occur.
¡
To clean-off, use a soft cloth.
¡ Do not use a hard cloth since this will mar the disc.
¡
Wipe the disc in a straight line from center to edge.
¡ Never wipe with a circular motion.
¡ Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaning agents.
