24Care and MaintenanceVCR • Unplug your VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning. • Use a dry cloth when dusting your VCR. • Proper ventilation ensures that overheating will not damage electronic circuits. Don’t block ventilation holes.  • Take care of your remote control. Keep the remote with your VCR, where it is unlikely to be lost or damaged. • Keep liquids away from your VCR, including beverages and cleaning liquids. Spilling any liquid on the VCRcan damage the electronics, resulting in an electric shock or fire. • Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners that can accidentally get into the VCR, causing damage or creating a firehazard. • Do not allow any object to be pushed into the cabinet slots. This includes coins, dusters, cleaning cloths,papers and other objects. Any such objects can connect with a voltage point inside the VCR, causing danger-ous shocks, or may short out parts and cause a fire or an electric shock.Video Head CleaningIf poor pictures appear on a variety of cassettes, the video heads may need cleaning. This is not a common prob-lem and unless it appears, the heads should not be cleaned. If necessary, purchase a head-cleaning cassette. Ifthe picture quality does not improve after cleaning, call for service.When cleaning the video heads, read all the instructions provided with the head-cleaning cassette. Incorrect headcleaning can permanently damage the video heads.Video Cassettes • High quality, brand-name cassettes often last longer and provide a better picture. • Rewind your cassettes all the way so that the tape is not at a midpoint. This can extend the life of a cassettetape. • Do not touch or splice the tape. This can damage the tape, and playing such a tape can damage your VCR.Do not take apart any cassette you plan to use again.  • Do not put any object inside a video cassette case and do not clean inside the cassette. This can permanentlydamage the tape, making it unusable.Warranty InformationTo ensure proper warranty,  please return your registration card within two weeks.
