About VCR
The video heads enable the VCR to read video information pictures from the tape during playback.
In the unlikely event that the heads become clogged with dirt video playback will be impossible.
This can easily be determined during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but the
picture is extremely snowy.
If this si the case, have the video cassette recorder checked by qualified service personnel.
NOTES
During normal operation of the VCR, the video and audio heads can accumulate dirt over a period
of time, especially when using an old or poor quality tape. When the heads are dirty, the picture
can get snowy and the tracking control will have little or no effect.
If this condition occurs, head cleaning cartridges may take care of the problem and restore normal
picture.
We recommend that head cleaning cartridges be used sparingly since they are very abrasive and
can damage the video heads during prolonged use.
If the problem is not resolved with the head cleaning cartridge then the unit needs to be checked
by a qualified service personnel.
Video cassettes are equipped with a safety tab to prevent accidental erasure.
When the tab is removed, recording can not be performed.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
-After recording, break off the safety tab
with a screwdriver if you don't want to
record over the tape.
TO RECORD AGAIN
- Cover the hold with cellophane tape.
