Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

 The video heads are the means by

which the DVD/VCR reads the picture
from the tape during playback. In the
unlikely event that the heads become
dirty enough to be clogged, no picture
will  be  displayed.  This  can  easily  be
determined  if,  during  playback  of  a
known good tape, there is good sound,
but  no  picture  (picture  is  extremely
snowy).  If  this  is  the  case,  have  the
DVD/VCR  checked  and  cleaned  by
qualified service personnel.

Notes:
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR

SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.

• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be re-

placed when they fail to produce clear pictures.

• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good qual-

ity VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

CM skip

Press CM SKIP during playback. The DVD/VCR will search
forward through approximately 30 seconds of the tape (e.g.

(maximum six presses) and then resume normal playback.

For example : 1 press: 30 seconds of tape

2 press: 60 seconds of tape
3 press: 90 seconds of tape
