CLEANING THE VIDEO HEADS

Dirty video heads can cause the VCP’s picture to be blurred during playback, even when the video signal is clear. We recommend that you clean the heads only when such problems occur. For proper head cleaning, follow the instructions in a head- cleaning kit. Your local RadioShack store has

acomplete line of head-cleaning kits or take the VCP to your local RadioShack store for regular servicing.

VIDEO TAPE TIPS

Although a video cassette tape is built for durability, you should handle it with care.

Do not store video cassettes in high- temperature, high-humidity locations. Store them in a cool, dry, dust-free environment.

Store your video cassettes on their ends, not on their sides. This prevents improper settling of the cassette’s spools.

A video cassette’s tape can become wound too tightly around the cassette’s spools after numerous playing. This can cause the cassette to improperly load and automatically eject when you load it. On most video cassettes, there is a brake release plunger on the bottom center of the cassette. Use the tip of a pen or pencil to press the plunger. This loosens the tape.
