Head Cleaning; Periodic Maintenance; Specifications - Hitachi VM-1800A Instruction Manual

HEAD CLEANING

If dust or foreign matter adheres inside the viewfinder, clean it by
using the following procedure.
1. Rotate and remove eye cup.
2. Clean the picture tube face and lens. To prevent scratching, use a
soft non abrasive cloth, swab or lens cleaning paper.
3. Align the reference mark and rotate the eye cup in the direction of
arrow.
HEAD CLEANING
Picture playback may become blurred or be interrupted. This does not mean that the
recorded program has been erased.
Dirt accumulated on the head after long periods of use causes this problem. In this
case, head cleaning requiring highly technical care is necessary.
Consult your nearest dealer or VCR service center before using a head cleaning tape.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

The video camcorder is a precision electromechanical device which will require periodic
maintenance after a period of normal use. We expect that no maintenance other than
head cleaning will be required during the warranty period of most users, unless the
video camcorder is heavily used or seldom used. Normal maintenance is the
responsibility of the user, although defective parts are covered during the warranty
period. Consult your VCR service center to determine recommendations for normal
maintenance based upon your location, use patterns and machine age.
