Symptoms caused by contaminated video
heads
When the video heads are dirty, the picture is
distorted or the tape cannot be played.
Clean the video heads using a Sony video head
cleaning cassette. If a Sony cleaning cassette is not
available in your area, have the heads cleaned at
your nearest Sony dealer (a standard service fee
will be charged). Do not use a commercially
available liquid type cleaning cassette, as it may
damage the video heads.
