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

“CAM ” .

2. Press the DATE button.

“0:00” and “1/1/2000” appears on the

monitor screen and “ 1” flashes.

3. Press the PLAY or STOP button to select

correct date. Pressing the PLAY button

gives you higher numbers while the

STOP button gives you lower numbers.

When the correct date appears, press

the FF button.

4. Press the PLAY or STOP button to select

correct month. When the correct month

appears, press the FF button.

5. Use the PLAY, STOP and FF buttons to

select the correct year, hour and minute.

6. After setting to the correct minute, press

the DATE button to change the display

and start the internal clock.

It is recommended that you press the

DATE button to match the time signal.

NOTE: After the date and time are set,

“ AUTO” appears and the camera/

Operating time

The camera/recorder operating time

depends on how often you turn power on/

off and use start/stop and zoom.

Continuous recording

EVF: when using the viewfinder

LCD: when using the LCD monitor

However, if recording pause

continues for more than 5 minutes in

the CAM mode, the camera/recorder

will automatically turn off, after which

charging will start.

If the sub-power switch is set to

LOCK, charging will take place even

when the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch is

set to CAM.

• If the DC plug is disconnected when

the battery is attached and the

CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch is set to CAM

or VIDEO, the camera/recorder will

turn off once, but then automatically

turn on again. Note that the battery

will discharge if the camera/recorder

is left as it is.

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.

CAUTION

Perform this procedure for emergency only when normal loading or unloading is not possible because the electrical circuits or loading motor is defective.

(1) Remove the r-case assembly. (See Figs. 2-4-1,

2-4-2)

(2) Disconnect connector (CN604) from PG604 on the

VCA circuit board, and supply 4V DC to CN604 (directly to the loading motor). (See Fig. 3-1) Connecting CN604 brown wire (+) and red wire (-) results in unloading. Connecting CN604 red wire (+) and brown wire (-) results in loading.

UH MECHANISM

Note: To unload the mechanism with a tape inserted,

manually turn the capstan motor simultaneously to take up the tape.

If loading or unloading does not occur even when 4V DC is directly supplied to the loading motor, perform the following procedure:

(3) Remove the camera chassis assembly and rear

cover. (See Fig. 2-6)

Note: Note that it is difficult to remove the rear cover.

The defective items flash. The shaded items are the tape detection switches and cassette holder switch which flash when they are not pressed. See Table 1-3 for the results of diagnosis.

Cautions:

Do not press any buttons other than those specified during self-diagnosis; otherwise, it may cause a malfunction. The indications in dotted lines are not covered by the self-diagnostic functions. It is normal for the diagnostic procedure to end in the eject state. Do not close the cassette lid thereafter.

[To release]

Set the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch to "OFF".

5) The procedure ends in the eject state.

Caution: Do not close the cassette lid.
