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.
Symptoms caused by contaminated video heads
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.
