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 VCR can 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 fire hazard. • 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 dangerous shocks, or may short out parts and cause a fire or an electric shock. Video Head Cleaning If poor pictures appear on a variety of cassettes, the video heads may need cleaning. This is not a common problem and unless it appears, the heads should not be cleaned. If necessary, purchase a head-cleaning cassette. If the 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 head cleaning 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 cassette tape. • 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 permanently damage the tape, making it unusable. Warranty Information To ensure proper warranty, please return your registration card within two weeks.
