Troubleshooting
Head Condition Sensor
The Head Condition Sensor checks the video heads’ condition. If the heads are dirty, a message
will instruct you to insert a video head cleaning cassette.
Be sure to use the Sony T-25CLD or T-25CLDR video head 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).
Note
• SENSR CONDCIÓN CABEZA in OPCIONES must be set to SI for the Head Condition
Sensor to operate.
• To turn off the head condition sensor message, set SENSR CONDCIÓN CABEZA to NO.
