Notes:
≥
Do not rewind the tape in the Head Cleaner
after every use. Rewind it only after the tape
has reached its end, and then use it again in
the same way from the beginning.
≥
If the video heads again become clogged with
dirt soon after cleaning, this might be caused
by a damaged tape. In this case, stop using
that cassette immediately.
≥
Be careful not to clean the video heads too
much. (Too much cleaning could cause
excessive wear to the video heads. If the video
heads get worn, the picture is not played back
clearly even after cleaning.)
≥
If using the Head Cleaner does not clear the
video head clogging, the VCR requires
cleaning or repairing by a service centre.
Please consult with your dealer.
≥
This Video Head Cleaner is available from
service centres.
