MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1. Check before starting repairs The following faults can be remedied by cleaning and oil- ing. Check the needed lubrication and the conditions of cleanliness in the unit. Check with the customer to find out how often the unit is used, and then determine that the unit is ready for inspec- tion and maintenance.
MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2. Required Maintenance 4. Supplies Required for Inspection and Maintence The recording density of a VCR(VCP) is much higher than that of an audio tape recorder. VCR(VCP) components must (1) Grease : Kanto G-311G (Blue) or equivalent be very precise, at tolerances of 1/1000mm, to ensure com- (2) Isopropyl Alcohol or equivalent patibility with the other VCRs.
