[. . . ] ·Do not bend the CD-ROM or touch its mirror surface. ·Do not store your CD-ROM in a dusty, hot or humid environment. Keep it away from direct sunlight. NOTE: As a maladjusted tracking control can give similar symptoms to dirty video heads, please check that the tracking control of the unit is in the centre position. Cleaning the video heads Accumulation of dirt and other particles on the video heads may cause the playback picture to become blurred or interrupted. Although this camcorder is equipped with a built-in head cleaner which automatically cleans the heads, reducing the likelihood of dirty heads, if such troubles are encountered, we recommend the use of the cleaning cassette specifically designed for JVC camcorders, model number TCC-2U.
