Helpful Hints
VCR Maintenance/Video Head Cleaning
• Remove any light adhesive stick-on notes from the video cassette
before putting the cassette in the VCR. Removable labels can jam
the VCR.
• Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your VCR’s perfor-
mance. Your VCR automatically cleans the video heads each time
you insert a tape. However, the heads may become dirty. “USE
CLEANING CASSETTE” may appear on the screen, and “U:01”
will appear on the VCR display panel. These messages will appear
briefly every seven seconds during tape playback. The messages will
appear until you adjust the tracking, remove and reinsert the tape,
or clean the heads. Details are on page 60.
The video heads eventually will require professional cleaning or
replacement. Only an authorized service center should perform
this service.
Erase Protection
Video cassettes have record tabs to ensure that recordings are
not erased accidentally.
1
To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab with a
screwdriver.
2
To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.
1
To remove the battery compartment lid, push in the tab,
then pull up the lid.
2
Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment
with their + and – ends aligned as indicated.
