without notice.
Cleaning the VCR
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of
your vacuum cleaner to dust your VCR.
Remove dust from the ventilation holes on
the back sides and bottom of the cabinet.
Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and
can be marred by alcohol and various
solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based
furniture polishes since the materials used
in the cabinet will accumulate more dust.
We recommend using a nonabrasive,
antistatic cleaner and polisher.
