VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING

The video heads enable the VCP to read video information pictures from the tape during playback.

In the unlikely event that the heads become clogged with dirt video playback will be impossible. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but the picture is extremely snowy. If this is the case, have the video cassette player checked by qualified service personnel.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING

NOTES

During normal operation of the VCP, the video and audio heads can accumulate dirt over a period of time, especially when using an old or poor quality tape. When the heads are dirty, the picture can get snowy and the tracking control will have little or no effect. If this condition occurs, head cleaning cartridges may take care of the problem and restore normal picture. We recommend that head cleaning cartridges be used sparingly since they are very abrasive and can damage the video heads during prolonged use. If the problem is not resolved with the head cleaning cartridge then the unit needs to be checked by a qualified service personnel.

NOTE: Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to reproduce clear pictures. To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes. Do not leave tapes on the floor of the vehicle. Store tapes not being used in their cases. Do not leave video tapes inside a hot vehicle.
