Introduction Cleaning video heads Magnetic video heads convert the videocassette into pictures on the screen during playback. Over a period of time, particles rub off the tape and are left on the heads. Using an old or poor quality tape together with dust and air particles, high temperature and humidity cause dirty heads. Dirty heads generally cause "snowy" pictures and, in some severe cases, blurred or interrupted pictures. A variety of products are available at video stores to clean tape heads. Use these products sparingly, because some are abrasive to the video heads. If normal head cleaning procedures do not resolve the problem, have the system checked by a service technician. Cleaning the liquid crystal display (LCD) flip-down screen Clean the display screen by applying a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint-free cloth. Rub the screen gently until the dust, dirt or fingerprints are removed. Do not spray the screen directly with water or glass cleaning solvents. Overspray from these fluids could drip down into the internal electronics of the screen and cause damage. Do not apply excessive pressure while cleaning the screen. Cleaning the exterior of the videocassette player (VCP) Clean the outside of the VCP with a soft cloth dampened with water. Avoid getting the VCP controls wet. Do not spray the VCP directly with water or other fluids as they could drip down into the internal electronics of the VCP and cause damage. Foreign substances Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the VCP compartment. Be especially careful not to spill liquids of any kind onto the media controls or into the videocassette player. If liquid is accidentally spilled onto the system, immediately turn the system OFF and consult a qualified service technician. 7
