Dirty Video Heads
/sing the camcorder when the vide{) tape is dirty may cause the heads to clog, producing
noise on the recorded image or prevent the image from being recorded at all. Other
things that may cause clogging include recording in high temperature and high humidity
environments, a lot of clust in the air, clamagecl tape, worn tape, long-time use or dew
fi)rmation. Video heads becoming clogged soon after cleaning may be caused by a
damaged tape. In this case, stop using the tape immediately.

Signs of clogged heads during playback include: mosaic like noise on the pictures,
picWres that do not move, or the entire screen Wrning blue.

service center or your dealer for further aclvice.
