About Head cleaning

7

If the picture playback becomes blurred, it does not mean
that the recorded program has been erased.

7

Dirt accumulated on the video heads after long periods of
use causes such troubles. In this case, head cleaning
requiring highly technical care is necessary.

7

For head cleaning, consult the nearest JVC dealer.
