Checking the drive heads
A digital video drive is a high-precision piece of equipment
that records and plays back the pictures on a magnetic tape. In
particular, over long-term use the video head and other
mechanical parts may become dirty or worn. If the picture
quality deteriorates, or a block mosaic effect appears, carry out
head cleaning. (See "Maintenance and troubleshooting" on
page 16.)
