NOTES REGARDING THE VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly.
If a square block-shape distorts playback, or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty.
If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.
Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.
