C. Cautions and Warnings 1. Cleaning Video Head Use only good quality VHS tapes and discard worn out tapes to prevent video head clogging. If the heads get dirty over a period of time during normal operation of the VCP, the picture will be snowy and the auto-tracking will not adjust the snow out of the picture. We recommend using cleaning cartridges sparingly to restore normal picture. 2.

Power This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Use only the supplied power cable matching this set to avoid electric hazards. When the unit is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power source.
When moving the VCP from a cold place to heated place. Or the temperature of surroundings goes up due to vehicle heating switched on.
