is

may
become
clogged
when
playing
an
old
or
dimaged
tape.
lf the
image
on
your
screen
resembles
the
photograph
on the
left,
while
playing
back
a tape,
the heads
may
require
cleaning.
(b)
Cleaning
the Heads:
lt
is recommended
that head
cleaning
be
performed
by.a
qualified
service
technician.
Please
contact
your
nearest

solution is to
obtain a head
cleaning
cassette.

are many types

cleaning
cassettes,
