VCR Care and Servicing
You are advised to keep an eye on a few things as you go. In addition, you may
sometimes have troubles with your VCR. We offer some suggestions for care to
prevent problems, ways to troubleshoot, and places to contact when you cannot solve
the problems yourself.
• Routine Cleaning
Periodic Maintenance
Your Hitachi VCR is a precision electro-mechanical device which requires professional
maintenance after a period of normal use.
Usually no maintenance other than head cleaning is required during the warranty
period, unless the VCR is used either heavily or infrequently. Defective parts are
covered during the warranty period but normal maintenance is your responsibility.
Consult your VCR service center to find out what they recommend as normal
maintenance based on your location, how you use the VCR and the age of the machine.
• If the VCR Doesn't Work Right
Many operational problems are easily remedied by reviewing the instructions in this
manual and trying out some different controls and settings.
The chart on the facing page covers the more common problems that new VCR owners
encounter. You can also consult the problem guide in your on-screen Easy Guide
System. To bring up the screen, press GUIDE twice, then press 7.
