  1. Converting VCR Tape to DVD

  2. Care and Storage • Keep tapes in a dust free environment, away from direct sunlight. • Never store tapes near magnetic fields, (top of TV, speakers, etc.). • Try to give tapes 24 hours to adjust to extreme temperature and climate changes. • Fast-forward & rewind tapes every 2 years to prevent sticking. • Store tapes rewound and vertically in their case. The storage environment should not be hot, humid, dusty or smoky. • Plastic storage boxes are the best solution for long term storage. www.high-techproductions.com/tapetips.htm

  3. Problems with Picture Playback • Picture rolls or jumps, bad picture - Adjust tracking control on VCR. • Playback has snow or noise - Use wet style head cleaner on your VCR for a few minutes. • No picture or sound - Make sure your TV & VCR are connected properly, and that TV is set to either channel 3 or 4, or TV is in video mode.

  4. HEAD CLEANING When a video head is cleaned, it only removes the dirt and grease that are currently on the video and audio heads. If the same dirty or worn out tape is played again in the machine it will cause the heads to become dirty again. Over using a head cleaning tape will cause premature failure of the VCR.

  5. EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR VCR The majority of failures in VCR's is due to the rubber belts and idler's becoming hard and no longer having the traction required to pull the tape. One of the easiest ways to extend their life is by exercising them. By playing a Video Tape in your machine at least once a week will help ensure that the rubber parts stay soft.

  6. Signs a video tape is wearing out • If the tape stops at the same place while playing every time is a sign that there is a problem with that part of the tape. • If you play a tape and the heads get dirty, and after cleaning the heads you reinsert that tape and the heads get dirty again is a sign that the tape is either damaged or has a substance on it. • If the tape comes out of the housing, (although this can usually be fixed), can hurt the tape heads if a wrinkle goes over them.
