Initial lS Terminal
Worn Video Heads
if the VCR displays a poor picture after you clean the video heads, you may need to replace them. Consult your dealer or
the Sony Service Center nearest you.
Check the Video Heads after 1,000 Hours of Use
This VCR is a high-precision machine, It must record on or play back from magnetic tapes on which the image signals from
the color TV or the video camcorder are recorded.
The video heads or mechanical parts for transporting the tape become contaminated or worn atter extended use. You
should have the VCR checked (cleaning, oiling and replacing of worn parts) after each 1,000 hours of use.
Moisture Condensation
« Main Unit
Do not operate the unit right after having transported it from a cold location to a warm location or in a room where the
temperature rises suddenly, because moisture may condense in the operating section of the unit. Wait for about one
hour before operating the unit on in the new location or keep the rise in room temperature gradual. If the unit is operated
with moisture condensation, the unit and the tape may be damaged
Therefore remove the tape immediately when there is a possibility of moisture condensation or when no picture (ora
monochrome picture) is obtained. To evaporate the moisture rapidly, leave the player turned on without a tape loaded.
+ Cassette
When a cassette tape is carried from a cold place to a warm place, the cassette tape may become wet. When there is
any possibility of moisture condensation, eject the casselte tape and leave it outside of the compartment for about one
hour.
