Questions & Answers
As if it were a tape, insert the cleaning cassette into the machine. Play for ten minutes and stop when you are finished I will only spend 15 seconds on this. REWIND IS NOT APPROPRIATE. It belongs back in the box it came in once you've pressed the EJECT button on it. In this way, the drums will be cleaned sufficiently to improve image quality. Please do not overuse this product. If you still have your old VCR, try the liquid drop variety of cassette. It is more satisfactory, but may no longer be available.
Selected User Reviews For Sony VHS Cleaning Cassette (Dry) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
This product does not properly clean the heads of VCRs.
Those supporting VCR players are going out of production as the players become more scarce. Although I prefer the 'wet' tapehead cleaners, this 'dry' version has been working very well, and should prolong the useful life of our 'tired' VCRs. Having to deal with becoming obsolete is hard!.
This was a gift I bought for a neighbor who had me purchase it and she'd pay Me for it, but she didn't - Then She sadly passed away a few hours after I bought them. She had cancer, so she didn't remember telling me to buy them. In short, the situation is dire.
Instead of taking the VCR to be serviced, I should have taken it in for repairs. I mentioned to the repair guy that I bought one of these tapes in order to fix the problem with distorted pictures from my VCR, and their response was "that never fixes it. ". I guess the heads need to be replaced most often The manufacturer no longer makes them. After spending another $45 on the VCR, I disposed of it in the garbage. I paid $ 00 to have someone tell me they couldn't fix the problem.
I purchase used VHS tapes for my grandson who loves Scooby Do. To clean the tapes, I have used this product and it works.
I was unhappy with this product. The idea of cleaning a video head is not new to me, and I have used many other products that worked much better than this. Based on my experience with this produce, I didn't see any improvement after cleaning it and stopped As I am sure that different units with different amounts of need to be cleaned will produce different results, I spoke about them in this blog post. You should pass on this one in favor of a wet cleaner instead.
With a child that age, our videos often get dirty and the heads also get dirty. There is nothing like this tape cleaner it does an excellent job and is easy to operate Putting the "play" button on for just 10 seconds is all it takes. For our weekend house, I purchased a second one.
