Caring for Your TV/VCR
Please follow these guidelines
to get the maximum
performance from your TV/VCR.
Placement
• Do not place the TV/VCR near
extremely hot, cold, humid or
dusty places.
• Do not place the TV/VCR near
appliances with electric
motors that create magnetic
fields, such as vacuum
cleaners.
• Keep the ventilation openings
clear; do not place the
TV/VCR on a soft surface,
such as cloth or paper.
• Place the TV/VCR in an
upright position only.
Liquids
Do not handle liquids near or on
the TV/VCR. Liquids that spill
into it can cause serious
damage.
Cabinet
• Never open the cabinet or
touch the parts inside.
• Wipe your TV/VCR with a
clean, dry cloth. Never use
water, cleaning fluids, wax,
or chemicals.
• Do not put heavy objects on
top of the cabinet.
Video Heads
• Use a head cleaning tape to
remove any dirt that has
accumulated on the video
heads.
• Follow the instructions that
come with the cleaning tape;
excessive use of a cleaning
tape can shorten head life.
Temperature
If your TV/VCR is moved from a
cold to a warm place, unplug the
power cord, and allow at least
two hours for moisture that may
have formed inside the unit to
dry completely.
About Video Tapes
Use only video tapes marked
VHS with this TV/VCR.
Caring for Video Tapes
• Keep tapes away from direct
sunlight, heat or cold.
• Insert tapes with the window
side up and the arrow
pointing away from you.
• Do not subject tapes to
violent vibrations or shocks.
• Never try to take apart or
splice a video tape.
• Do not open the cassette,
touch the tape, or put
anything inside the tape
case.
• Read the instructions
supplied with video tapes.
Recording Speeds
You can play or record a tape at:
• SP (Standard Play) speed
• SLP (Super Long Play) speed
Your TV/VCR automatically plays
tapes at the proper speed.
Recording at slower tape
speeds allows tapes to hold
more program material.
TAPE SP SLP
T-60 1 hr. 3 hrs.
T-120 2 hrs. 6 hrs.
T-160 2 hrs., 8 hrs.
40 mins.
The Record Safety Tab
Most video tapes have a safety
tab that must be intact to record.
To protect a tape from erasure,
you can break off the tab.
To record on a cassette with the
tab removed, cover the hole
with cellophane tape.
