Video Head Cleaning
Dirt accumulating on the head after a long period of time can cause the playback picture to become blurred or broken
up. High quality video cassette tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the video head, but old or damaged tapes
might. Clean the video heads with a commercially available video heads cleaning tape.
