Cleaning Tape

Use “dry” type head cleaning cassette only. (Part No. NV-TCL30PT is recommended.)

Follow cleaning tape instructions carefully. Excessive use of tape can shorten head life.

If head clog symptoms persist, contact your nearest Factory Servicenter or authorized Servicenter. (See page 41.)

Cleaning the VCR

Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation holes on the back sides and bottom of the cabinet.

Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since the materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust.

We recommend using a nonabrasive, antistatic cleaner and polisher.
