Sapphire tape cleaner

The unit incorporates a sapphire tape cleaner which cleans a video tape when it is loaded. This cleaner can prevent the video heads from contamination by removing dust or mold from a tape with its sapphire edge.

Head Condition Sensor

The Head Condition Sensor checks the condition of the video heads. If the heads are dirty, a message will instruct you to insert a video head cleaning cassette.

Be sure to use the Sony T-25CLD, T-25CLW or E-25CLDR video head cleaning cassette. If these cleaning cassettes are not available in your area, have the heads cleaned at your nearest Sony service facility (a standard service charge will be required).
