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 u,;ing

a non-abrasive, anti-static cleaner and polisher.
