Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be displayed. This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have the DVD/VCR checked and cleaned by qualified service personnel.

Notes:

Good Picture

Snowy Picture

•DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.

•Video heads may eventually wear out and should be re- placed when they fail to produce clear pictures.

•To help prevent video head clogging, use only good qual- ity VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
