This also prevents the VCR from maintaining video and audio quality at high levels. To prevent wear and deterioration, clean the heads regularly using a head cleaning tape. However, because a head cleaning tape alone cannot clean the entire tape transport mechanism, this should also be inspected periodically to prevent any problems that could result from a sudden failure.
