MOISTURE CONDENSATION
If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in the air will condense on the surface of the glass. This is moisture conden- sation. Moisture condensation on the head drum, one of the most crucial parts of the unit, will cause damage to the tape. When the VCR is exposed to a rapid temperature change from cold to warm, some condensation will occur. Under this condi- tion, connect the power cord to the AC line, press POWER on and allow at least two hours for the VCR to dry out.
The serial number is found on the back of this unit. This number is unique to this unit and not available to others. You should record requested information here and retain this guide as a permanent record of your purchase.

Video Head Cleaning
Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be deter- mined if, during playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head cleaning system or have them cleaned professionally.
Snowy Picture
Video head cleaning
Video head cleaning is needed when the playback picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occur when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use an equivalent high quality chemical
Notes
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.
Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
