Some quick
and easy tips
to fixing
problems
yourself.
Troubleshooting
Magnetic Field from Other Equipment 
Keep the VCR and videotapes away from strong magnetic fields, such as those produced by a vacuum
cleaner, refrigerator, or air conditioner.
Video Head Cleaning
Your VCR automatically cleans the heads as it is used. However, after long periods of use, your video
heads may become clogged with accumulated dirt, causing distortion. When this occurs, use a do-it-
yourself wet-head cleaning cassette available from your Zenith dealer.
Caution:
Do not use a dry-head cleaning system. It may seriously damage the VCR and cassettes used in the VCR.
Snow, streaking in picture, and horizontal pulling indicate the need for professional video head cleaning.
See your Zenith approved service center for cleaning.
Cabinet Cleaning
Clean the outside surfaces of the VCR with a soft lint-free cloth as required. Use care not to scratch the
VCR during cleaning.
Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation can occur:
• When the video recorder is moved from a cold
place to a warm place.
• Under extremely humid conditions
In locations where moisture condensation may
occur:
• Keep the power cord plugged into an AC outlet
and POWER On. This will help prevent condensa-
tion.
• When condensation has occurred, wait a few
hours for the VCR to dry before using it.
