Action taken after routine inspections

This unit has an hour meter which shows for how many hours the VTR has been used. When the MENU/REC 
LOCK switch is set to MENU, Menu Screen 1 appears on the TV monitor, and the hour meter can be checked. 
Use the hour meter as a rough guideline to cleaning or replacing the parts inside the unit. The regular screen is 
restored when the MENU/REC LOCK switch is set to OFF. For further details, consult with your dealer.
