Avoid operating or storing the VTR in an excessively

Cleaning care for video heads
The video heads are the means by which the VTR
places pictures on the tape during recording, and reads
pictures from the tape during playback.
In the unlikely event that they become dirty enough to
be clogged, no picture will be recorded or 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 VTR checked by qualified service personnel.
Note:
We do not recommended that you attempt to
clean the video heads yourself.
