Caring for Your TV/VCR

About Video Tapes

Please follow these guidelines to get the maximum performance from your TV/VCR.

Placement

•Do not place the TV/VCR near extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty places.

•Do not place the TV/VCR near appliances with electric motors that create magnetic fields, such as vacuum cleaners.

•Keep the ventilation openings clear; do not place the TV/VCR on a soft surface, such as cloth or paper.

•Place the TV/VCR in an upright position only.

Liquids

Do not handle liquids near or on the TV/VCR. Liquids that spill into it can cause serious damage.

Cabinet

•Never open the cabinet or touch the parts inside.

•Wipe your TV/VCR with a clean, dry cloth. Never use water, cleaning fluids, wax, or chemicals.

•Do not put heavy objects on top of the cabinet.

Video Heads

•Use a head cleaning tape to remove any dirt that has accumulated on the video heads.

•Follow the instructions that come with the cleaning tape; excessive use of a cleaning tape can shorten head life.

Temperature

If your TV/VCR is moved from a cold to a warm place, unplug the power cord, and allow at least two hours for moisture that may have formed inside the unit to dry completely.

Use only video tapes marked VHS with this TV/VCR.

Caring for Video Tapes

•Keep tapes away from direct sunlight, heat or cold.

•Insert tapes with the window side up and the arrow pointing away from you.

•Do not subject tapes to violent vibrations or shocks.

•Never try to take apart or splice a video tape.

•Do not open the cassette, touch the tape, or put anything inside the tape case.

•Read the instructions supplied with video tapes.

Recording Speeds

You can play or record a tape at:

•SP (Standard Play) speed

•SLP (Super Long Play) speed

Your TV/VCR automatically plays tapes at the proper speed.

Recording at slower tape speeds allows tapes to hold more program material.

TAPE SP SLP

T-60 1 hr. 3 hrs. T-120 2 hrs. 6 hrs. T-160 2 hrs., 8 hrs.

40 mins.

The Record Safety Tab

Most video tapes have a safety tab that must be intact to record. To protect a tape from erasure, you can break off the tab.

To record on a cassette with the tab removed, cover the hole with cellophane tape.
