VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING
The video heads record and playback picture and sound on the video tape. In the event that they become dirty you won't be able to do a perfect
recording and the playback picture will be extremely snowy with good sound. If this happens have the unit checked by qualified service personnel.
IGNITION
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter
or drift. Usually caused by interference from car ignition systems,
neon lamps, electrical drills and other electrical appliances.
The most common types of television interference are as follows.
GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths.
One is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings,
hills or some other object. Changing the direction or position of the
antenna may improve the reception.
SNOW
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station
where the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the
appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may
be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks,
and in some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the AC power source before cleaning. The finish on the cabinet may be
cleaned with mild soap and a soft damp cloth. Take care when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.

VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
Manual head cleaning is needed if the picture on playback is still unclear although the picture on program is normal. This failure
signifies that the head is getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning,
use a high quality head-cleaning cassette or have them cleaned professionally.
NOTES:
Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
To help prevent video head cleaning, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn tapes.
