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.
