 VTR Technology And Maintenance

Introduction

Due to lack of training, technicians and engineers

at Botswana television do not fully understand the
basic of how the VTR machine operates, and
hence find it very difficult to repair or maintain.

Conducting a seminar on this topic I hope to

reduce this problem.
