Video Head Cleaning
When playback pictures are noisy and hardly visible, or when no picture or blue
screen appears, the video heads may be contaminated. In such a case, clean the
video heads using video head cleaning tape V8-25CLH
(not supplied) or ask Sony
service personnel to clean the video heads.

Check the Video Heads after 1,000
Hours of Use
This VCR is a high-precision machine. It must record on or play back from magnetic
tapes on which the image signals from the color TV or the video camcorder are
recorded.
The video head or mechanical parts for transporting the tape become contaminated or
worn after extended use. You should have the VCR checked (cleaning, oiling and
replacing of worn parts) after each 1,000 hours of use.
