Whilst this is a photo copy, and some of the pages are a little askew, it was all readable and intact. A real bonus finding an old manual for a classic piece of kit that no other site had.
Great stuff.
Thanks to Owner-Manuals.com! This manual was exactly what I needed. As Amana was purchased by Maytag and later by Whirlpool, there was no way to receive it from their websites. I was lucky to find this resource.

VCR maintenance
In this VCR, use only tapes with the mark. q Remove any stickers or labels from the video cassette tape before putting the tape in the VCR. Labels can jam the VCR.

Only an authorized service center should replace the heads. � The remote control and its batteries are supplied. � Do not mix alkaline and manganese batteries. � Do not mix old and new batteries.
