Tips & Warnings
Read the owner's manual for your television; most will list common problems to watch for and prevent.
Reduce interference between your VCR and television by attaching a sheet of aluminum foil to the shelf between them.
Attempt basic repairs only if you are confident of your skills. Study your warranty first; doing repairs yourself may invalidate the manufacturer's coverage of the product.
