Periodic Maintenance

the period of warranty unless the camcorder is used either heavily or seldom. Defective parts are covered
by the r warranty. Normal maintenance is the responsibility of the owner. Consult your dealer or local
VCR service center for recommendations
regarding
normal maintenance based on your use patterns, lo¬
cation, and the age of the camcorder.
