VIDEO HEAD CLEANING NOTES During normal operation of the VCP, the video and audio heads can accumulate dirt over a period of time, especially when using an old or poor quality tape. When the heads are dirty, the picture can get snowy and the tracking control will have little or no effect. If this condition occurs, head cleaning cartridges may take care of the problem and restore normal picture. We recommend that head cleaning cartridges be used sparingly since they are very abrasive and can damage the video heads during prolonged use. If the problem is not resolved with the head cleaning cartridge then the unit needs to be checked by a qualified service personnel. NOTE: Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to reproduce clear pictures. Do not leave video tapes inside a hot vehicle. 6 FEATURES CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of the Audiovox Model AVP-7200 Video Cassette Player.
