Periodic Maintenance
A precision electromechanical device, the Hitachi VM-H725LA/H825LA 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.
