Helpful Hints
VCR Maintenance
•
Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cassette
before putting the cassette in the VCR. Removable labels can jam
the VCR.

mance. Your VCR has an automatic head cleaner, but the video
heads will eventually require cleaning or replacement. Cleaning
or replacement of the video heads should be performed only by
an authorized service center.

To open the battery compartment, push in the tab, then
