NOTES:
•
To use the TVG® captioning feature while watching a DVD, your TV must be capable of displaying Closed Captions (CC). Set your
TV CC to “CC2” or “C2” and this unit to “CC2”.
•
TVG® filters 95% of foul language in closed captioned words; TVG® does not filter out scenes or do “voice-overs”. Errors in the CC
can cause TVG® to miss words/phrases. TVG® works on media that includes CC information. You can verify whether a DVD
supports CC by looking for the CC logo on the back cover of the DVD case.
Replaced CC phrases are available through the TV’s CC Decoder. If your TV doesn’t have a CC Decoder, replaced phrases may
not be available. In this case, TVG® will just mute the filtered language.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Caring for Discs
•
Treat the disc carefully. Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted
side of the disc.
•
•
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the disc label.
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If
necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
•
•
If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the outer edge of the disc. Never wipe in circular
motions.
Z
•
•
Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme
temperatures can warp the disc.
•
Do not stick or write anything on either side of the disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink, may damage the surface.
Cleaning the Unit
•
•
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.
The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning and
wiping the plastic parts.
•
Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.

VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING/CLEANING
VIDEO HEAD CLOGGING
The video heads are the means by which the VCR reads pictures from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that
the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during
playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have
the video cassette recorder checked by qualified service personnel.
Good Picture
Snowy Picture
VIDEO HEAD CLEANING
This VCR has a built-in head cleaning system that cleans the heads whenever a tape is inserted or ejected. However,
cleaning still may be necessary when the playback picture becomes unclear. The heads can get dirty when playing poor
quality or damaged tapes. If the heads require cleaning, use a equivalent high quality chemical non-abrasive (wet) head
cleaning tape or have them cleaned professionally. If playing a head cleaning tape in the VCR once does not improve the
picture, play it several times before requesting service.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE TOP COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality Video Cassette Tapes. Disregard worn out tapes.
