Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the VCR. Such
chemicals may cause damage and discoloration to the exposed surfaces.
HEAD CLEANING
Picture playback may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program reception
is clear. This does not mean that the recorded program has been erased. Dirt 
accumulated on the video heads after long periods of use, or the usage of rental or 
worn tapes can cause this problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during 
playback, the heads in your VCR may need to be cleaned. Please visit your local 
Audio/Video store and purchase a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner. Remember 
to read the instructions included with the head cleaner before use. Clean heads only 
when problems occur. If this does not correct the problem, consult the nearest 
Authorized Service Center. Professional video head cleaning requires highly technical 
attention. 
SERVICING
Should your VCR become inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power cord, and take 
the unit to Authorized Service Center for servicing.
