Note

Do not use a commercially available wet-type cleaning tape, as it may damage the video heads.

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.

Video Head Cleaning

When playback pictures are noisy and hardly visible, or when no picture appears, the video heads may be contaminated. In such a case, clean the video heads using the V-25CL video head cleaning tape (not supplied), or ask Sony service personnel to clean the video heads, with this service there would be a standard charge.

Worn Video Heads

If your video TV displays a poor picture after you clean the video heads, you may need to replace them. Consult your dealer or the Sony Service Center nearest you.

Check the Video Heads after 1,000 Hours of Use

A video TV is a high precision machine. It must record on or play from magnetic tapes on which the image signals from the color TV or the video camcorder are recorded.

The video heads or mechanical parts for transporting the tape are contaminated or worn after extended use. You should have your video TV checked after each 1,000 hours of use.
