Taking Care of Your Video TV
Video Head Cleaning
When playback pictures are noisy and hardly visible, or when no picture
appears, the video heads may be contaminated. In such a case, clean the
video heads using the V-25CL video head cleaning tape (not supplied), or
ask Sony service personnel to clean the video heads, with this service there
would be a standard charge.
GB
Symptoms caused by contaminated video heads
• Normal picture
• Rough picture
• Unclear picture
• No picture (or
black & white
screen appears)

terminal
Worn Video Heads
If your video TV displays a poor picture after you clean the video heads,
you may need to replace them. Consult your dealer or the Sony Service
Center nearest you.
Check the Video Heads after 1,000
Hours of Use
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.
Note
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.
Do not use a commercially available
wet-type cleaning tape, as it may
damage the video heads.
