If this happens, insert and eject a cassette 5–10 times successively to remove the dirt from the video heads.

If a clear picture is not produced, insert a commercially available cleaning cassette. Then, press REC ¥ (¥ REC/OTR) and keep it running for approximate 10 seconds to clean the video heads.

If the problem still persists after performing all of the measures listed above, contact a service personnel to request assistance.

Heads mainly become dirty because of scratched or dirty tapes, use of the unit in places where temperature and humidity are high, dust in the air and other reasons.

Never use tapes on which juice has been spilt or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.
