using the following procedure.

HEAD 
CLEANING 
         
 Picture playback may become blurred or be interrupted. This does not mean that the 
recorded program has been erased. 
 Dirt accumulated on the head after long periods of use causes this problem. In this 
case, head cleaning requiring highly technical care is necessary. 
 Consult your nearest dealer or VCR service center before using a head cleaning tape. 
 
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 
The video camcorder is a precision electromechanical device which will require periodic 
maintenance after a period of normal use. We expect that no maintenance other than 
head cleaning will be required during the warranty period of most users, unless the 
video camcorder is heavily used or seldom used. Normal maintenance is the 
responsibility of the user, although defective parts are covered during the warranty 
period. Consult your VCR service center to determine recommendations for normal 
maintenance based upon your location, use patterns and machine age.
