IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR VCR AND VIDEO
TAPES
VIDEO TAPES
•
If you use only good quality video tapes, generally it will not be necessary to clean the
video heads.
•
If poor quality tapes are used, or if a tape is loaded after changing VCR location, oxide
from the tape may "clog" the video heads. This will cause the playback picture to be
"snowy", or even disappear.
•
To remove minor contamination run a video tape in visual search mode. If this fails, you
will need to have the heads cleaned by a SHARP Service Facility. Please note, if cleaning
is necessary it is not covered by the guarantee.
•
Use video tapes which carry the
mark.

BEFORE YOU PLAYBACK A VIDEO TAPE

temperature before operating.
