Periodic Maintenance
A precision electromechanical device, the Hitachi VM-E53A/E55A 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.
