... makes perfect sense. Thank you, John. I will try cleaning those heads again. Regards, Bob.
It is possible for a dirty head to record ok but playback very poorly i.e.
> Below the video mute level "Panasonic blue screen" That is because on
record
the signal is a relatively high applied current generating a large
magnetic
field but on playback only a very small signal is picked up from the tape.
> Also remember that this applies to all the heads on the tape path so don't
> forget to clean the control head as well as the video heads. This is the
one
on the bottom of the last head assembly before the pinch roller.
