Disassembly and Reassembly > Disassembly

(15) AEL-H/AEL and MAN-H/MAN Circuit Boards

Note:

Before replacing the MAN-H/MAN circuit board, always perform “4-9-2 EEPROM data backup and write”.

1)Disconnect the two flat cables.

2)Disconnect the DRF-H/DRF circuit board (c) from MAN-H/MAN circuit board (b).

3)Remove three screws [G].

4)Remove the AEL-H/AEL circuit board (a) that is assembled with MAN-H/MAN circuit board in the direction of the arrow: It may be difficult to remove these circuit boards, since the heat sink rubbers (e) on MAN-H/MAN circuit board may stick to the frame (d).

5)Remove the AEL-H/AEL circuit board from MAN-H/MAN circuit board in the direction of the arrow.

Note:

Do not scratch the surface of IC2009 or IC2010: The surfaces of IC2009 or IC2010 are silicon substrate (silicon wafer) that is semi-conducting. Scratching them could cause fault in operation.

Procedure and caution for reassembly

1)Be sure to paste the two heat sink rubbers (e) on the MAN-H/MAN circuit board: Neglecting to paste the heat sink rubber could cause a fault.

2)Connect the MAN-H/MAN circuit board and AEL-H/AEL circuit board, and then attach them to the frame. If the MAN-H/MAN and AEL-H/AEL circuit boards are attached to the frame independently, a connection fault could result.

The Hitachi DZ-MV580E and DZ-MV550E series of camcorders are sophisticated devices that combine innovative technology with user-friendly features, making them ideal for both amateur and professional videographers. These camcorders, available in various regional models such as DZ-MV580E(AU), DZ-MV580E(SW), DZ-MV580E(SWH), DZ-MV580E(UK), DZ-MV550E(AU), DZ-MV550E(SW), DZ-MV550E(SWH), and DZ-MV550E(UK), share many core characteristics while catering to different market needs.

One of the standout features of both the DZ-MV580E and DZ-MV550E is their recording capability, which utilizes advanced MPEG-2 compression technology. This allows for high-quality video recordings while maintaining manageable file sizes, making it easier to store and transfer footage. The camcorders support both DVD-RAM and DVD-R media formats, giving users flexibility in choosing the most suitable recording medium.

The design of these camcorders focuses on portability and ease of use, with a compact form factor that makes them convenient to carry. The user interface is intuitive, featuring a large LCD screen that provides clear visibility of the recording settings and playback options. This is vital for on-the-go filmmakers who need to adjust settings quickly and efficiently.

In terms of optical performance, the DZ-MV580E boasts a powerful optical zoom feature, enabling users to capture distant subjects without sacrificing clarity. The digital image stabilization technology significantly reduces the blurriness caused by hand movements during recording, ensuring smooth and clear footage even in dynamic environments.

Both series are equipped with an array of customizable settings, allowing users to adjust focus, exposure, and white balance according to their specific shooting conditions. These controls empower videographers to achieve their desired aesthetic and ensure high-quality results across various lighting situations.

Connectivity options are also comprehensive, with USB ports for easy transfer of footage to computers and other devices, as well as AV outputs for direct playback on televisions. This connectivity versatility enhances the user experience, from recording to sharing.

In summary, the Hitachi DZ-MV580E and DZ-MV550E camcorders represent a blend of advanced recording technology, user-friendly design, and versatile features. Whether for personal memories or professional projects, these models provide a reliable solution for capturing high-quality video content.
