Cleaning and Maintenance
Servicing:
Should your MovievisionTM VCR become inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Remove the unit from the vehicle and take it to an authorized MovievisionTM service facility.
Cabinet Cleaning:
The front panel of the MovievisionTM VCR can be cleaned with a soft cloth that has been immersed in luke warm water and wrung dry. Never use alcohol or solvents of any kind to clean your MovievisionTM VCR. Damage will result.
Screen Maintenance:
During the normal course of use, the plastic housing parts will get dirty, dusty and the viewing screen will get finger prints on it. The viewing screen and related plastic housing parts can be safely cleaned using a dampened soft cotton cloth with a small amount of dish washing soap rubbed into it. An overly wet cloth that has too much soap in it will cause you trouble. Repeat the following procedures to cor- rectly clean the viewing screen and related plastic parts.
A. Completely soak a soft cotton cloth and rub a small amount of dish washing soap into it.
B. Twist the cloth tightly and wring out as much moisture as possible
C. Lightly, rub the cloth on the viewing screen and related plastic parts to remove the dust, dirt and fingerprints.
D. Wipe off the excess soap residue with a clean dampened cloth and let air dry.
WARNING!
•Do not rub the viewing screen dry.
•Do not rub hard on the viewing screen as you will scratch it and or damage the screen.
•Do not rub on the screen in circular motions.
•Do not rub the screen with your fingers to clean it.
•Do not use ANY chemicals on the viewing screen or related plastic parts such as glass cleaners,furniture polish, specialized automotive cleaners, rubbing alcohol, thinners or solvents.
VCR Head Cleaning:
The use of poor quality or old worn tapes can still leave deposits on the tape head preventing high picture and sound quality. If a streaky or snowy picture (or no picture at all) appears during “playback”, the heads of your VCR may need to be cleaned.
1.Visit your local audio/video store and purchase a good quality VHS head cleaner and follow the directions sup- plied to clean the heads.
2.If a commercial grade video head cleaner does not solve the picture quality problem, your heads may need pro- fessional cleaning. Consult your local video repair center for professional service.
When using head cleaning cassette, read all instructions carefully; incorrect head cleaning can permanently dam- age the video heads.
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.
Headphone Maintenance:
There are no user serviceable parts in the headphones (Except the batteries) Do not disassemble the headphones for any reason. Replace the batteries with high quality Alkaline “AAA” batteries as needed.
