A clean video head helps produce a clear picture.
So, we have equipped your unit with a built-in,
nonchemical head cleaning system that helps
prevent clogging of the video heads. Cleaning is
performed each time you load or unload a video
cassette.
• This feature is preventative only, If your video heads
are seriously clogged, consider the use of a chemical
non-abrasive head cleaning kit.
