Video Head Cleaning

Whenever a video cassette is inserted into or ejected
from your DVD+VCR the video head is automatically
cleaned.
This should mean that additional head cleaning
should not be necessary.
However, dirt accumulating on the head after a long
period of time can cause the playback picture to
become blurred or broken up. High quality video cas-
sette tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the
video head, but old or damaged tapes might.
