Cleaning the VCR

Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner

to dust your VCR. Remove dust from the ventilation holes on

the top, 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.

Specifications are subject to change.
