Hello, I haven't used this VCR (a JVC SR-MV45U) in over a year due to being incredibly busy, however I've decided to get back into the hobby of capturing. I bought this VCR in 2019 and it was very clean. Since buying this VCR, I have not captured many tapes (I've captured maybe 6-7). The exterior of the VCR has understandably accrued dust, and it would make sense if the interior looks the same. The VCR was in the basement for a while but I moved it to my room in 2021 so as to prevent dust accumulation.
Do the same VCR cleaning procedures apply to a VCR + DVD video recorder combo or is there a different protocol? The VCR's manual states to use a dry cleaning cassette, however I remember reading negative opinions about doing this on the forum (I could be misremembering though).
