IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR VCR AND VIDEO TAPES
VIDEO TAPES
•If you use only good quality video tapes, generally it will not be necessary to clean the video heads.
•If poor quality tapes are used, or if a tape is loaded after changing VCR location, oxide from the tape may "clog" the video heads. This will cause the playback picture to be "snowy", or even disappear.
•To remove minor contamination run a video tape in visual search mode. If this fails, you will need to have the heads cleaned by a SHARP Service Facility. Please note, if cleaning is necessary it is not covered by the guarantee.
•Use video tapes which carry the 
mark.
