Problems and troubleshooting / Video head cleaning

Video head cleaning

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 played back. 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 by qualified service personnel.

NOTES: • 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 replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

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

SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS PAGE

TV recording does not work.

Timer recording does not work.

Noise bars on screen.

• The erase prevention tab of the video cassette is broken off.

• The unit is in the external input mode.
