1-5 HEAD CLEANING

Repeated recording and playback leads to accumulation of dust and other particles on the video and audio heads. Excessive accumulation will adversely affect the picture or sound quality. If head cleaning is not performed periodically, a type of mosaic noise called block noise may appear in the picture or the sound may be interrupted.

Maintenance and cleaning

●This unit contains precision components to ensure the highest performance. For optimum long-term performance, proper maintenance and care are required. Consult your JVC dealer for replacement of parts, adjustment and servicing.

●Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet. Do not use benzene or thinner as these may melt or cloud the cabinet surface. To remove excessive dirt, clean the unit with a mild detergent diluted with water, then wipe it with a dry cloth.
