Placement of Your Dual-Deck VCR
Place your Dual-Deck VCR within three feet, but not on top of your TV.
Place your Dual-Deck VCR in a horizontal position only.
Do not place your Dual-Deck VCR in extremely hot, cold, humid or dusty places.
See page 46 for specifications.
Do not place your Dual-Deck VCR near appliances with electric motors.
Do not put anything on top of your Dual-Deck VCR.
Keep liquids and food away from your Dual-Deck VCR.
Cleaning the Dual-Deck VCR Cabinet
Dust the surface using a soft cloth. Use the dusting attachment of your vacuum
occasionally to remove dust from the ventilation holes on the top, back, sides, and
bottom of the cabinet.
Cleaning the Video Heads
Playing poor quality or damaged tapes in your Dual-Deck VCR can contaminate
the video heads. Use only high quality tapes in your
Dual-Deck VCR.
Dirt which accumulates on the video heads may cause the picture to blur. If this
happens, the video heads need to be cleaned. Purchase a
non-abrasive head cleaning tape from your video dealer. We recommend "wet"
head cleaning tapes. Be sure to follow the instructions that come with the cleaning
tape; excessive use of a cleaning tape can shorten head life. Cleaning by any means
other than a cleaning tape will void your warranty.
Care of Videotapes
Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme heat or extreme cold.
Do not disassemble any cassette. Do not touch the tape.
Rewind tapes after use and store in protective cases.
Remove the record safety tab to prevent recording over previous
recordings.
Humidity Requirements
If your Dual-Deck VCR is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm place, moisture
may form inside the unit. Before operating, allow at least 2 hours after plugging in
the power cord for your Dual-Deck VCR to dry completely. Failure to do so may
cause damage to your Dual-Deck VCR and the tape. See page 46 for specifica-
tions.
Service and Warranty
Never open your Dual-Deck VCR cabinet or touch the inside parts. To do so is
dangerous and may cause damage. Do not try to disassemble your
Dual-Deck VCR – there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Servicing of your Dual-Deck VCR should be done by an authorized service center.
For service information, see the inside back cover.
Energy Conservation
Save energy. If you will not be using your Dual-Deck VCR for a long period of
time, unplug the electrical cord.

for shipping.
