Yes, but if the "clean head" message came on its the actual spinning drum video heads that require cleaning, as when they get slightly contaminated the symptoms can be the "clean head" warning, or broken / streaky images during playback with a blue screen showing now and again, or in some cases even E-04 being displayed, as the CPU triggers an E-04 warning when it detects a malfunction in the data stream from the video head / sensor for some reason or another.
