A precision electromechanical device, the Hitachi VM-E555LA/VM-H755LA/VM-H855LA/VM-
H9S55LA requires maintenance after a period of normal use. We expect that no maintenance other than
head cleaning will be required during the period of warranty unless the camcorder is used either heavily
or seldom. Defective parts are covered by the warranty. Normal maintenance is the responsibility of the
owner. Consult your dealer or local VCR service center for recommendations regarding normal main-
tenance based on your use patterns, location, and the age of the camcorder.
