Note{
If a cleaning tape is not available to deal with video head clogging, etc., first estab- lish the STOP mode and then press the STOP button again while the RESET but- ton on the side panel is kept depressed. While these buttons are held down, the cleaning roller will clean the heads for a maximum of 10 seconds.
