Video head cleaning

	Video head clogging
	The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR
	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 DVD/VCR checked by qualified	Good Picture	Snowy Picture
	service personnel.	Good Picture	Snowy Picture
	service personnel.

NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT 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.
