using a monitor, set it to video input.

according to your local colour system.

• The video heads are dirty (see below). Clean the video

heads using the Sony T-25CLD, T-25CLW or E-25CLDR

video head cleaning cassette. If these cleaning cassettes

are not available in your area, have the heads cleaned

at your nearest Sony service facility (a standard service

charge will be required). Do not use a commercially

available liquid type cleaning cassette other than

Sony’s, as they may damage the video heads.

• The video heads may have to be replaced. Consult

your local Sony service facility for more information.

• Adjust the vertical hold control on the TV or monitor.

• The tape is defective.
• If you made A/V connections, check the audio cable

connection.

on both the hi-fi and normal sound tracks, make sure

the AUDIO MIX option in the SET UP MENU is set to

OFF.
