1

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab with a screwdriver.

2

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

VCR Maintenance

Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cassette before putting the cassette in the VCR. Removable labels can jam the VCR.

Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your VCR’s perfor- mance. Your VCR has an automatic head cleaner, but the video heads eventually will require cleaning or replacement. Only an authorized service center should perform this service.
