Remote Control - VCP

VCP Remote Control:

Simply aim the remote control at the video display and press the desired function button. Be sure the remote batteries are not discharged, which may reduce sensitivity to receive signals from the remote control. Objects blocking the remote control infrared beam may prevent operation of the VCP.

Battery Installation and Replacement
The battery compartment is on the back of the remote control. To access them simply slide open the battery door. The remote uses 2 AAA dry-cell batteries. Before using the remote control, be sure to check that the batteries are correctly installed. The positive (+) and negative (-) symbols on the batteries must match the symbols inside the battery compartment.

Care of the Video Cassette Player
^ A Video Cassette Player (VCP) that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound and video quality, ruined cassettes or a damaged mechanism.
^ Do not repeatedly load or unload a video cassette without playing it for a short time. Otherwise, the tape may slacken and become damaged.
^ Do not leave video cassettes in the VCP for long periods of time. This could damage the VCP or the tape.
^ Over time as the VCP playback heads become dirty, the video picture may become blurred, interrupted, or noisy. Once this occurs, the VCP likely requires thorough cleaning.
^ Regular cleaning of the tape heads using a common VHS cassette-style cleaner will increase tape life and reliability of the VCP.
^ To verify that cleaning is necessary, load and play several video tapes to see if the problem persists. If cleaning is required, use a cleaning cassette, available from consumer electronics outlets. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Care of the Video Cassettes
Do not leave a video tape in the VCP overnight, or during hot or cold conditions. This may cause the tape to stick to the VCP heads which could damage the tape or VCP.

Do not directly touch the magnetic tape surface. Avoid exposing a video cassette to direct sunlight and keep it away from heat sources such as heater vents. Avoid extreme environments such as high humidity, excessive vibrations or jarring, strong magnetic fields (from a speaker for example), and dust.

IMPORTANT: Never insert a tape into the VCP if there is moisture on the tape.

Always place the video cassette back in its case after use.
