CAUTION
Lithium battery; danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacuturer's instructions.
When replacing the lithium battery it is important to use the same type and connect it correctly.
WARNING:
Lithium batteries contain dangerous chemicals.
Handle and dispose of with great care.
Do not throw in a fire.
Do not short circuit it.
For disposal place in a plastic bag and put in waste bin.
CAUTION (COLOR LCD)
LCD display; the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel is mode by highly precise technology.
More than 99.99% of its picture elements (pixels) are effective, but some (less than 0.01%) may appear as colored
bright dots. This mode not indicate a fault as the LCD panel stretches the limits of current technology.
CAUTION (CRT EVF)
Be careful of the section painted in white on the electronic viewfinder circuit board as it generates a high voltage.
PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics. These are often not evident from
visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated
for a higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in this
Service Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by marking with a on the schematics and the
parts list in this Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety
characteristics as the HITACHI recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create
shock, fire, or other hazards. Product safety is continuously under review and new instructions are issued from time to time.
For the latest information, always consult the current HITACHI Service Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies for,
HITACHI Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal charge from HITACHI SALES CORPORATION.
!
X-RAY RADIATION
The primary source of X-ray radiation in this viewfinder is the picture tube. The tube used in this viewfinder is specially
constructed to limit X-ray radiation emission. For continued X-ray radiation protection, the replacement tube must be
same type as the original, Hitachi approved one.
How to discriminate the "TYPE" identifications in the manual
The parts and circuits are identified by "TYPE" in this manual to discriminate the differences between models. The
TYPE numbers are the same as the model numbers. The table below shows how to read the type identifications.
TYPE identification Model name
TYPE 775 VM-H775LE
TYPE 578 VM-E578LE(AU)/E578LE(SW)
TYPE 575 VM-E575LE

Notes on the battery
• It is recommended that the battery
always be left in the discharged state
when not in use, and charged before
you use it.
• Avoid storing a fully charged battery,
and do not store it in a place where the
temperature is high: this will damage
the battery.
• Do not operate the battery at
temperature below – 10 C or above 45 C.
At extremely low temperatures
operation time decreases, while at high
temperature the battery may be
damaged.
• Do not attach a hot battery to the
camera/recorder. Allow it to cool.
• There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the battery or AC adaptor.
• Throwing the battery into fire or
exposing it to excessive heat (above
60¡C) may cause injury.
• Shorting the battery’s terminal
increases risk of fire or electrical shock.

CHAPTER 2 DISASSEMBLY
1. BEFORE STARTING DISASSEMBLY
(1) Dismantle and reassemble the mechanism in loading
stop status, except for the following components:
Cassette Lid
Top Cover
Parts on the UH mechanism
Note: After dismantling or resembling the cassette lid
or top cover, return the mechanism to loading
stop status.
(2) For manually operating the mechanism (unloading or
loading), refer to: "How to Operate the Mechanism
Manually".
(3) Dismantle each component according to "1.1
Disassembly Procedure".
(4) For reassembly, perform the reverse procedure to
disassembly when not otherwise specified.
(5) Disconnect flat cables from connectors by the proce
dure shown in Fig. 1-1. Since many circuit boards in
the camera/recorder are connected by in-board
connectors, be sure to follow DISASSEMBLY when
removing the circuit boards.
(1) Release the lock of the connector on the left and right
simultaneously.
(2) Pull out the flat cable.
