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 Facility. Please note, if cleaning 
is necessary it is not covered by the guarantee.

•

Use video tapes which carry the 

 mark.

Switch on your TV and select the video channel.

Carefully push a pre-recorded video 
tape into the tape compartment. 
This will switch the VCR on.

•

If the record-protection tab has 
been removed, the VCR will start 
playback as soon as the video tape 
has been loaded.

To start playback, press

 

(

).

Condensation forms in the VCR when it is moved out of or into a warm place. 
If you try to playback or record, the video tape and VCR may be damaged.

temperature before operating.
