@
If
you
use
only
good
quality
video
tapes,
generally
it
will
not
be
necessary
to
clean
the
video
heads.
@
If
poor
quality
tapes
are
used,
or
if
a
tape
is
loaded
after
changing
VCR
location,
oxide
from
the
tape
may
"clog"
the
video
heads.
This
will
cause
the
playback
picture
to
be
"snowy",
or
even
disappear.
@
To
remove
minor
contamination
run
a
video
tape
in
visual
search
mode.
If
this
fails,
you
will
need
to
have
the
heads
cleaned
by
a
SHARP
Service
Facitity.
Please
note,
if
cleaning
is
necessary
it
is
not
covered
by
the
guarantee.
