The
1-2 Periodical Maintenance
This VCR incorporates precision mechanical parts which will collect dirt over time and ultimately deteriorate and wear out. Over long periods of use, dirt and dust accumulates on the heads, drums and tape transport mechanisms. Dust which penetrates the VCR (especially during outdoor use) also promotes the wear and deterioration of mechanical parts by causing poor contact between tape and heads. This also prevents the VCR from maintaining video and audio quality at high levels. To prevent wear and deterioration, clean the heads regularly using a head cleaning tape. However, because a head cleaning tape alone cannot clean the entire tape transport mechanism, this should also be inspected periodically to prevent any problems that could result from a sudden failure.
As replacement and adjustment of parts require advanced skills and specialized equipment, please contact the person in charge of professional video equipment at your nearest
Monitoring Usage Time
The total operation time reached by an ordinary home VCR in 5 or 6 years may be reached by a professional VCR in as few as 5 or 6 months. Therefore, it is important that the total hours of operation be carefully monitored. An hour meter in the
