Build-in Head Cleaner ]
A clean video head helps produce a clear picture.
So, we have equipped your VCR with a built-in, non
chemical head cleaning system that helps prevent clogging
of the video heads. Cleaning is performed each time you
load or unload a video cassette.
Note: This feature is preventative only. If your video heads
are sedously clogged, consider the use of a
chemical nonabrasive head cleaning kit or take your
VCR to a Service Center.
