MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY, BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE MAINS LEAD BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH ANY
MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.

Cleaning the unit


Clean the outside of the unit with a clean soft cloth moistened with lukewarm water. Do not use benzene, thinner or alcohol since
they will mar the finish of the surfaces.

Video Head Cleaning


Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture from the tape during play. In the unlikely event that the heads
become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during play of a known good
tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, use a high quality head cleaning system
or have them cleaned professionally.

Good Picture Snowy Picture

Video head cleaning


Video head cleaning is needed when the play picture becomes unclear. This signifies that the heads are getting dirty and can occur
when playing poor quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive
(wet) head cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the unit once does not improve the
picture, play it several times before requesting service.

Notes:
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
