13-1 Removing a Cassette When Tape Slack Occurs
If tape slack occurs in the unit, it is necessary to
remove the upper lid and sound baffle. This job
should always be entrusted to a technician who has
undergone service training.
To clean the video heads and audio heads, always use
the special-purpose Sony BCT-HD12CL cleaning
cassette.
If you insert the cleaning cassette, it is automatically
ejected after a head cleaning operation which lasts for
5 seconds.
Follow the instructions with the cleaning cassette
carefully, as inappropriate use of the cleaning cassette
can damage the heads.
For details, refer to Section 1-17 in the Installation Manual.
13-2 Head Cleaning
Notes
• When carrying out head cleaning without using the
automatic cleaning function, be sure to eject the
cleaning cassette after use in order not to damage the
heads.
• You cannot use the BCT-5CLN cleaning cassette.
