ªDirt on the video heads

If the video heads get dirty, pictures will not be recorded or played back clearly. (See the following conditions.)

Normal picture Small amount of dirt Large amount of dirt

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

If the problem still persists after performing above, contact a service personnel.

Head cleaning by service agents is not covered by warranty.

Heads mainly become dirty because of scratched or dirty tapes, use of the unit under high temperature and humidity or under the dust and other reasons.

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