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.

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.
