Cleaning and Care
¥ Disconnect the VCR from the power source before cleaning.
¥ Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners on or in the VCR.
¥ Use a dry cloth to dust the VCR.
¥ Keep the remote control with the VCR and secure it in such a manner that it is unlikely to be
lost or damaged.
¥ Keep liquids away from the VCR. A spill on the VCR can damage the electronics and cause
electric shock or fire.
DO NOT INSERT ANY OBJECTS INTO THE CABINET SLOTS; CONTACT WITH A VOLTAGE
POINT INSIDE THE VCR CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS SHOCK OR MAY SHORT OUT PARTS AND
CAUSE FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Video Head Cleaning
If poor playback qualities (snow, distortion, streaking, etc.) develop and persist, the unitÕs video
heads may need cleaning. If necessary, purchase a head cleaning cassette. Do not clean the heads

cleaning can permanently damage the video heads.

Videocassette Tapes
Always insert the videocassette window-side up with the arrow on the case pointing toward the VCR.
Use only videocassette tapes marked VHS . European-standard PAL VHS videocassette tapes and
S-VHS prerecorded videocassette tapes are not compatible.
To prevent accidentally recording over previously recorded material, remove the Record Protect
Safety Tab on the videocassette case after recording.
To record a tape that has the Record Protect Safety Tab removed, place a piece of cellophane tape
over the space from which the tab was removed.
Note: The recording time available on a videocassette depends on Tape Speed (SP or SLP) and
Cassette Type (T60 = 60 minutes at SP or 180 minutes at SLP;T120 = 120 minutes at SP or
360 minutes at SLP).
Note: Keep cassettes from direct sunlight, heat or extreme cold. Do not drop cassettes.
Never touch the recording surface of the tape.
About Videocassettes
¥ In general, high-quality, brand name videocassettes last longer and provide a better picture.
¥ Rewind your cassettes all the way so that the tape is not at a midpoint; this can extend the
tape life.
¥ Do not touch or splice the tape; this can damage the tape and playing such a tape can
damage the VCR.
¥ Do not take apart any cassette you plan to use again.
¥ Do not put any object inside a videocassette and do not clean inside a videocassette; this can
permanently damage the tape, making it unusable.
