Care of Your
Dual-Deck VCR
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"Environment" in the Techni-
cal Specifications section of this Guide 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 attach-
ment of your vacuum occasionally to remove dust from the
ventilation holes on the 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 clean-
ing 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.
