VCR Maintenance

• In this VCR, use only tapes with the

mark.

•Make sure any light adhesive stick-on notes are removed from the video cassette tape before putting the tape in the VCR. Removable labels like these 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. Cleaning or replacement of the video heads should be performed only by an authorized service center.
