Cleaning 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.
Built-in Head Cleaner
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.
Loading the Batteries
     Battery replacement caution
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline with manganese batteries.
1) Open cover.
3) Close cover.
2) Insert batteries as
marked.
