MAINTENANCE

SERVICING

Should your VCR become inoperative, do not try to correct the problem by yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts

inside. Turn off, unplug the power cord, and take the unit to Hitachi Authorized Service Center for servicing.

CABINET CLEANING

• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the VCR with a soft cloth immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry.

• Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide liquid near the VCR. Such chemicals may cause damage and

discoloration to the exposed surfaces.

HEAD CLEANING

• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt accumulated on the video

heads after long periods of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can cause this problem.

If a streaky or snowy picture appears during playback, the heads of your VCR may need to be cleaned.

1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a good quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.

2. If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, consult the nearest Hitachi Authorized Service Center. Professional

video head cleaning requires highly technical attention.

NOTES:

• Remember to read the instructions included with the head cleaner before use.

• Clean heads only when problems occur.
