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