About the Auto Head Cleaner

The Auto Head Cleaner built into this set automatically cleans the video heads when a cassette is loaded or unloaded. If the effect of head cleaning is not sufficient even after a cassette has been loaded/unloaded several times, clean the heads using the Sony V-25CL video head cleaning cassette. For details on head cleaning see page 46.
