DON'T USE VCR CLEANING TAPES! I don't care if they say they're non-abrasive and suitable for a baby's bottom. DON'T routinely clean the heads. If a noise problem indicating dirty heads appears, THEN clean the heads MANUALLY and DIRECTLY at the heads. If you don't know the proper procedure for doing this safely (and you DO have to do it right to avoid damage) then let a professional do it or learn the proper technique. Cleaning tapes are to be avoided. --Lauren--
