A video TV is a high precision machine. It must record on or play from
magnetic tapes on which the image signals from the colour TV or the
video camcorder are recorded.
The video heads or mechanical parts for transporting the tape are
contaminated or worn after extended use. You should have your video TV
checked after each 1,000 hours of use.
No t e
Do not use a commercially available
wet-type cleaning tape, as it may
damage the video heads.
