I have always used wet system VHS head cleaner cassettes since I can remember. Generally if you use a higher grade tape for home recording you are not going to run into problems. In fact playing a high quality tape through your machine will actually clean your tape heads. Most times when problems develop is when you rent tapes or play pre-recorded budget tapes in your VCR. You may notice picture deterioration or even loss of picture, sound and tracking by playing contaminated tapes or tapes of an inferior quality where the oxide gets transferred to your video heads, linear audio heads, rollers and guides. In these instances wet system VHS head cleaner cassettes have always corrected the problem for me. These cleaners really do work and you can maintain your unit and fix the problem on your own.

I have been using this for my VCR and it makes tapes run much more smoothly. No more clattering on the rewind! It's really a good idea to clean your VCR and this is an easy way to do it.

It's the only head cleaner I ever bought but it did the job........... what else is there to say?..........
