[net.video] Cleaning the heads on a VCR

lute@abnjh.UUCP (J. Collymore) (02/13/84)

I understand that one should clean their video heads every 40 hours of play.
If I try cleaning my own heads, will that void the warranty?  Is it as easy as
cleaning audio cassette heads?  Can you use the same type of alcohol to clean
VCR heads?  Should one use Q-tip or foam cleaners on VCR heads?  Are the heads
easily accessible once you remove the housing?

If you have any knowledge or experience with these matters, please either
send me mail, or post to the net.  I'm sure there are other VCR owners who
would like to save themselves costly hassles by seeing this type of information.

Thanks.
