Maintenance

Cabinet Cleaning

Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the VCR with a clean,
soft, dry cloth.  Stains should be removed with a soft cloth immersed in
lukewarm water and wrung dry.

Never use a solvent or alcohol.  Do not spray insecticide liquid near the
VCR.  Such chemicals may cause damage and discoloration to the exposed
surfaces.

Head Cleaning

Picture playback may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program
received is clear.  This does not mean that the recorded program has been
erased.

Dirt accumulated on the head after long periods of use causes this problem.
In this case, head cleaning requiring highly technical care is necessary.

Head should be cleaned only when problems occur.

Servicing

Should your VCR become inoperative, do not try to correct the problem your
self.  There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Switch power off, unplug
the power cord and take the unit to a Radio Shack store for assistance.
