A clean video head helps produce a clear
picture.
So, we have equipped your DECK with
a built-in, non-chemical
head cleaning
system
that helps prevent clogging of the video
heads. Cleaning
is performed
each time you
load or unload a video cassette.
• This feature is preventative only, If your video
heads are seriously clogged, consider the use
of a chemical non-abrasive head cleaning kit
or take your DECK to a Servicenter.
Only use tapes with the _
mark in this DECK.

Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment
of a vacuum cleaner to 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 non-abrasive,
antistatic
cleaner and polisher.
