(160-0619)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 33722

Your Memorex Model 49 VHS VCR is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the VCR
so that you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the VCR dry.  If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    Liquids can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.

    Handle the VCR gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage its
    circuit boards and case and can cause it to work improperly.

    Use and store the VCR only in normal temperature environments.
    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, and
    distort or melt plastic parts.

    Keep the VCR away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
    of parts.

    Wipe the VCR with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking
    new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
    detergents to clean the VCR.

Modifying or tampering with your VCR's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the VCR's warranty.  If your VCR is not
operating as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for service
if needed.

Cleaning the Cabinet

Wipe the VCRs front panel and other exterior surfaces with a clean, soft,
dry cloth.  Remove stains using a damp, soft cloth.

Cleaning the Video Heads

Dirty video heads can cause the playback picture to become blurred even
though the audio signal is clear.  Serious problems require cleaning by a
trained technician.  For more head cleaning information, contact your local
Radio Shack store.

Clean the heads only when problems occur.

Servicing Your VCR

There are no user-serviceable parts inside your VCR.  If you encounter a
problem that you cannot correct using this manual and its troubleshooting
guide, take the VCR to your local Radio Shack so that our personnel can
help you or arrange for service if needed.
