Cleaning the VCR
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner to dust your
VCR. Remove dust from the ventilation holes on the top, 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, anti-static cleaner and polisher.
