Cleaning and Maintaining the System
Cleaning and Maintaining Peripherals
For information about cleaning the system peripherals, see the manufacturer’s
manual that accompanied the peripheral, or contact your local Philips representa-
tive. The procedures generally require the removal of the unit from the cart and
therefore should be performed by appropriate service personnel.
VCR
The VCR requires the following maintenance.
➤ To clean the video heads
1. Disconnect the VCR cables from the system.
2. Remove the VCR from the cart.
3. Remove the top cover.
4. Thoroughly clean the individual video heads, using an appropriate solvent and
a lint-free cloth or chamois.
➤ To clean the videotape path
Using an appropriate solvent and lint-free cloth or chamois, clean the entire vid-
eotape path as well as the audio and control heads. If you need to lubricate the
heads, use a very light oil and be very careful not to contaminate the videotape
path.
Video Printers
Optional devices, such as video printers, require that you periodically partially dis-
assemble the print heads to effectively remove paper debris and abrasive material.
To minimize maintenance, consistently use high-quality paper coated with an anti-
static protecting chemical. Because dirty sensor surfaces are often the cause of
malfunction, it is important to keep the sensors clean.
