VCR Maintenance
Unlike DVD Players, VCRs need to be cleaned periodically to maintain the little picture quality there is. Here are some tips on how to clean your VCR like a professional:
- The best maintenance is preventative maintenance. Use a can of compressed air
- Excessive dust in the player is the primary reason your VCR will experience playback problems.
- The easiest way to clean the internals of your VCR is to use a head cleaning cassette
. These look like ordinary VHS cassettes, but have a special cleaning tape that cleans the tape heads while played.
- Don't play mangled VHS cassettes.
- You might need to sacrifice that video of Howard the Duck
