CLEANING THE VIDEO
HEADS
Dirty video heads can cause the VCPÕs
picture to be blurred during playback,
even when the video signal is clear. We
recommend that you clean the heads
only when such problems occur. For
proper head cleaning, follow the instruc-
tions in a head-cleaning kit, such as Ra-
dio Shack Cat. No. 44-1203, or take the
VCP to your local RadioShack store for
regular servicing.
VIDEO TAPE TIPS
Although a video cassette tape is built for
durability, you should handle it with care.
¥ Keep the video cassette in its
protective box when you are not
using it.
¥ Do not store video cassettes in high-
temperature, high-humidity loca-
tions. Store them in a cool, dry, dust-
free environment.
¥ Store your video cassettes on their
ends, not on their sides. This
prevents improper setting of the
cassetteÕs spools.
¥ A video cassetteÕs tape can become
wound too tightly around the
cassetteÕs spools after numerous
playings. This can cause the
cassette to improperly load and
automatically eject when you load it.
On most video cassette, there is a
brake-release plunger on the
bottom-center of the cassette. Use
the tip of a pen or pencil to press the
plunger. This loosens the tape.
