Care of Your

Dual-Deck VCR

Placement of Your Dual-Deck VCR

•Place your Dual-Deck VCR within three feet, but not on top of your TV.

•Place your Dual-Deck VCR in a horizontal position only.

•Do not place your Dual-Deck VCR in extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty places. See"Environment" in the Techni- cal Specifications section of this Guide for specifications.

•Do not place your Dual-Deck VCR near appliances with electric motors.

•Do not put anything on top of your Dual-Deck VCR. Keep liquids and food away from your Dual-Deck VCR.

Cleaning the Dual-Deck VCR Cabinet

Dust the surface using a soft cloth. Use the dusting attach- ment of your vacuum occasionally to remove dust from the ventilation holes on the back, sides, and bottom of the cabinet.

Cleaning the Video Heads

Playing poor quality or damaged tapes in your Dual-Deck VCR can contaminate the video heads. Use only high quality tapes in your Dual-Deck VCR.

Dirt which accumulates on the video heads may cause the picture to blur. If this happens, the video heads need to be cleaned. Purchase a non-abrasive head cleaning tape from your video dealer. We recommend “wet” head cleaning tapes. Be sure to follow the instructions that come with the clean- ing tape; excessive use of a cleaning tape can shorten head life. Cleaning by any means other than a cleaning tape will void your warranty.

Care of Videotapes

Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme heat or extreme cold. Do not disassemble any cassette. Do not touch the tape. Rewind tapes after use and store in protective cases. Remove the record safety tab to prevent recording over previous recordings.
