Moisture Condensation Moisture condensation can occur: In locations where moisture condensation may occur: • When the video recorder is moved from a cold place to a warm place. • Keep the power cord plugged into an AC outlet and POWER On. This will help prevent condensation. • Under extremely humid conditions • When condensation has occurred, wait a few hours for the VCR to dry before using it. Magnetic Field from Other Equipment Keep the VCR and videotapes away from strong magnetic fields, such as those produced by a vacuum cleaner, refrigerator, or air conditioner. Video Head Cleaning Your VCR automatically cleans the heads as it is used. However, after long periods of use, your video heads may become clogged with accumulated dirt, causing distortion. When this occurs, use a do-it-yourself wet-type head cleaning cassette available from your Zenith dealer. Caution: Do not use a dry-type head cleaning system. It may seriously damage the VCR and cassettes used in the VCR. Snow, streaking in picture, and horizontal pulling indicate the need for professional video head cleaning. See your Zenith approved service center for cleaning. Cabinet Cleaning Clean the outside surfaces of the VCR with a soft lint-free cloth as required. Use care not to scratch the VCR during cleaning.
