Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the TV/VCR/DVD reads

the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that

 

 

the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be

 

 

played back. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a

 

 

known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is

 

 

extremely snowy). If this is the case, have the TV/VCR/DVD checked

 

 

by qualified service personnel.

NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE TV/VCR/DVD BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.

•Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

•To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
