General Maintenance
Cleaning the Camera/Recorder Heads
Dirt can accumulate on the video heads on the camera causing the playback picture to become
blurred or appear as if video information is lost. This often means that the video heads are dirty.
Use a video head cleaner such as Maxell 8M-CLT to clean the heads.
If after cleaning the heads the picture does not clear up consult your nearest dealer or VCR
service center for professional head cleaning.
Cleaning the Lens and Picture Tube of the Electronic Viewfinder
The lens of the electronic viewfinder can be user-cleaned if dust, dirt, or other foreign matter
adheres to it.
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.
Periodic Maintenance
A precision electromechanical device, the Hitachi VM-E56A/E58A requires maintenance after a period of
normal use. We expect that no other maintenance other than head cleaning will be required during the
period of warranty unless the camera/recorder 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 maintenance based on your use patterns,
location, and the age of the camera/recorder.
