General Maintenance

If after cleaning the heads the picture does not clear up consult your nearest dealer or VCR service center for professional head cleaning.

Cleaning the Lens and Picture Tube of the Electronic Viewfinder

The lens of the electronic viewfinder can be user-cleaned if dust, dirt, or other foreign matter adheres to it.

1 Pull out the eye cup to the position where a mark can be seen (up to a half where it is pulled out all the way). The side with the mark should be up.

2 Turn the eye cup counterclockwise until it stops, then pull it out to remove.

3 Clean the picture tube face and lens. To prevent scratching, use a soft nonabrasive cloth, swab or lens cleaning paper.

4 Face the rib up as shown above and push the eye cup in until it stops.

5 Turn the eye cup clockwise until it stops, then push it in all the way.
