When a program is recorded, the starting point is given
an Index mark for easy location. However, the VHS

VCR
•Unplug your VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning.
•Use a dry cloth when dusting your VCR.
•Proper ventilation ensures that overheating will not damage electronic circuits. Don’t block ventilation holes.
•Take care of your remote control. Keep the remote with your VCR, where it is unlikely to be lost or damaged.
•Keep liquids away from your VCR, including beverages and cleaning liquids. Spilling any liquid on the VCR
can damage the electronics, resulting in an electric shock or fire.
•Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners that can accidentally get into the VCR, causing damage or creating a fire
hazard.
•Do not allow any object to be pushed into the cabinet slots. This includes coins, dusters, cleaning cloths,
papers and other objects. Any such objects can connect with a voltage point inside the VCR, causing danger-
ous shocks, or may short out parts and cause a fire or an electric shock.
Video Head Cleaning
If poor pictures appear on a variety of cassettes, the video heads may need cleaning. This is not a common
problem and unless it appears, the heads should not be cleaned. If necessary, purchase a head-cleaning cas-
sette. If the picture quality does not improve after cleaning, call 1-800-SAMSUNG for service.
When cleaning the video heads, read all the instructions provided with the head-cleaning cassette. Incorrect
head cleaning can permanently damage the video heads.
Video Cassettes
•High quality, brand-name cassettes often last longer and provide a better picture.
•Rewind your cassettes all the way so that the tape is not at a midpoint. This can extend the life of a cassette
tape.
•Do not touch or splice the tape. This can damage the tape, and playing such a tape can damage your VCR.
Do not take apart any cassette you plan to use again.
•Do not put any object inside a video cassette case and do not clean inside the cassette. This can permanently
damage the tape, making it unusable.
Warranty Information
To ensure proper warranty, please return your registration card within two weeks. Record the model number
and serial number from the back of the VCR and the date of purchase in the space on the right. Keep your
purchase receipt with this manual for easy reference.
