Playback
The playback picture does not

Reset the RF channel output of your VCR (see

• The video heads are dirty (see the last page of
Troubleshooting). Clean the video heads using the

cleaning cassette. If these cleaning cassettes are not
available in your area, have the heads cleaned at your
nearest Sony service facility (a standard service
charge will be required). Do not use a commercially
available liquid type cleaning cassette other than
Sony’s, as it may damage the video heads.
• The video heads may have to be replaced. Consult
your local Sony service facility for more information.

menu is set to the wrong position. Set the option to
conform to the system that the tape was recorded in.
