CARE SUGGESTIONS

Your Realistic Model 46 Stereo Hi-Fi Double Azimuth Four-Head VHS VCR is
an example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions
will help you care for the VCR so that you can enjoy it for years.

  Keep the VCR dry.  If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
  can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.

  For your remote control, use only fresh batteries of the recommended
  size and type.  Always remote old or weak batteries.  They can leak
  chemicals that can damage electronic circuits.

  Handle the VCR gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage its
  circuit boards and case and can cause it to work improperly.

  Use and store the VCR only in normal temperature environments.
  Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,
  and distort or melt plastic parts.

  Keep the VCR away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
  of parts.

  Wipe the VCR with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking
  new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
  detergents to clean the VCR.

  Modifying or tampering with your VCR's internal components can cause
  a malfunction and might invalidate the VCR's warranty.  If your VCR
  is not operating as it should, go to your local Radio Shack store
  for assistance.


MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Cabinet

Wipe the VCR's front panel and other exterior surfaces with a clean,
soft, dry cloth.  Remove stains using a damp, soft cloth.


Cleaning the Video Heads

Dirty video heads can cause a blurred picture even if the recorded signal
is clear.  Clean the heads if this problem occurs.  Your local Radio Shack
store sells a full line of VCR cleaning accessories.


Servicing Your VCR

There are no user-serviceable parts inside your VCR.  If you encounter
problems that you cannot correct using this manual or "Troubleshooting," 
Faxback Doc. # 38187, take the VCR to your local Radio Shack store for
assistance.
