If the heads are extremely dirty, recording performance deteriorates, and, in the worst case, the Movie Camera cannot record at all. Causes of Dirty Heads Large quantity of dust in the air High-temperature and high-humidity environment Damaged tape Long operating hours Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head Cleaner 1 Insert the Head Cleaner into the Movie Camera in the same manner as a Video Cassette. 2 Press the [1] Button, and approximately 20 seconds later, press the [] Button. (Do not rewind the tape. ) 3 Take out the Head Cleaner. Insert a Video Cassette and start recording. Then, play the tape back to check the recorded image. 4 If the image is not still clear, repeat Steps 1 to 3. (Do not use the Head Cleaner for 3 times or more consecutively. ) Notes: Do not rewind every time you use the Head Cleaner. Rewind only when the tape reaches the end, and then use it again from the beginning in the same manner as before. If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning, the tape may be damaged. In this case, immediately stop using that Cassette. (Excessive cleaning may cause excessive wear of the heads. If the heads are worn, images cannot be played back even after the heads are cleaned. ) If the dirty heads cannot be cleaned with the Head Cleaner, the Movie Camera needs to be cleaned at a service centre. Video Head Cleaners can be purchased from service centres. ª Condensation If the Condensation Indication flashes after the Movie Camera is turned on, condensation has formed inside the Movie Camera. In this case, the Movie Camera power is turned off automatically after about 1 minute. Follow the steps below: 1 Take out the Cassette. Depending on the amount of condensation, removing the Cassette may even become difficult. If this happens, wait for 2 to 3 hours before taking the Cassette out. 2 Open the Cassette Compartment Cover and wait for 2 to 3 hours. The number of hours to wait depends on the amount of condensation and ambient temperature.
