Troubleshooting
Some quick and easy tips to fixing problems yourself.
Moisture condensation can occur:
• When the video recorder is moved from a cold place to a
warm place.
• Under extremely humid conditions.
Magnetic Field from Other Equipment
Keep the VCR and videotapes away from strong magnetic fields, such as those produced by a vacuum cleaner, refrigerator, or
air conditioner.
Video Head Cleaning
Your VCR automatically cleans the heads as it is used. However, after long periods of use, your video heads may become
clogged with accumulated dirt, causing distortion. When this occurs, use a do-it-yourself wet-type head cleaning cassette
available from your LG dealer.
Caution:
Do not use a dry-type head-cleaning system. It may seriously damage the VCR and cassettes used in the VCR. Snow, streaking
in picture, and horizontal pulling indicate the need for professional video head cleaning. See your LG approved service center
for cleaning.
Cabinet Cleaning
Clean the outside surfaces of the VCR with a soft lint-free cloth as required. Use care not to scratch the VCR during cleaning.

Moisture Condensation
In locations where moisture condensation may occur:
• Keep the power cord plugged into an AC outlet and
POWER On. This will help prevent condensation.
• When condensation has occurred, wait a few hours for the
VCR to dry before using it.
