A precision electromechanical device, the Hitachi VM-E455LA/VM-H755LA/VM-H655LA 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 camcorder 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 camcorder.
