To make a copy, or "dub" of a video, you need two VCRs and two RCA-type cables.

ment of copyright laws.
Attach one end of the video cable to the Video OUT
1
jack of the playback VCR and the other end to the
Video IN jack of the record VCR.
Attach one end of the Audio cable to the Audio OUT
2
jacks on the playback VCR, and the other end to the
Audio IN jacks on the record VCR.
Set your Samsung VCR to record, and the other

select the jacks on the front of the VCR.

Video Head Cleaning
If poor pictures appear on a variety of cassettes, the video heads may need cleaning. This is not a common prob-
VR5160
lem and unless it appears, the heads should not be cleaned. If necessary, purchase a head-cleaning cassette. If
(Samsung) the picture quality does not improve after cleaning, call 1-800-SAMSUNG for service.
When cleaning the video heads, read all the instructions provided with the head-cleaning cassette. Incorrect head
cleaning can permanently damage the video heads.

Care and Maintenance

• Unplug your VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Use a dry cloth when dusting your VCR.
• Proper ventilation ensures that overheating will not damage electronic circuits. Don't block ventilation holes.
• Take care of your remote control. Keep the remote with your VCR, where it is unlikely to be lost or damaged.
• Keep liquids away from your VCR, including beverages and cleaning liquids. Spilling any liquid on the VCR
can damage the electronics, resulting in an electric shock or fire.
• Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners that can accidentally get into the VCR, causing damage or creating a fire
hazard.
• Do not allow any object to be pushed into the cabinet slots. This includes coins, dusters, cleaning cloths,
papers and other objects. Any such objects can connect with a voltage point inside the VCR, causing danger-
ous shocks, or may short out parts and cause a fire or an electric shock.
• High quality, brand-name cassettes often last longer and provide a better picture.
• Rewind your cassettes all the way so that the tape is not at a midpoint. This can extend the life of a cassette
tape.
• Do not touch or splice the tape. This can damage the tape, and playing such a tape can damage your VCR.
Do not take apart any cassette you plan to use again.
• Do not put any object inside a video cassette case and do not clean inside the cassette. This can permanently
damage the tape, making it unusable.
