1 PRECAUTIONS
Head Cleaning
Perform head cleaning even 20 hours to enjoy
clear pictures.
Cautions
● Do not rewind the cleaning tape after every use (for
about 30 seconds). You have only to start at the
position where the tape stopped in previous

tape. To keep running the tape for longer than 45
seconds may damage the heads.
● If sound and picture quality does not recover with
the cleaning procedures repeated three times, there
may be some other causes of trouble. Consult your
JVC dealer.
● The W-VHS dedicated cleaning tape can be used
100 times.
Video heads get soiled with repeated recording and
playback, resulting in rough, uneven picture.
Perform cleaning of the tape transport mechanism
every 20 hours with the provided head cleaning tape
dedicated to W-VHS.
How to use the cleaning tape
1. Load the W-VHS dedicated head cleaning tape.
2. Press the PLAY button and then STOP button after
about 30 seconds.

usual recording and playback procedure on a W-
VHS cassette to see if audio/visual quality has
been recovered.
● Do not use any cleaning tape other than the W-
VHS dedicated cleaning tape for this machine.
