Videohead
If you play back a tape recorded in HDV
format, the image and sound may lheeze lk_r
a while (about 0.5 seconds).
This occurs if tile HDV signals cannot be
recurded or played back correctly because
uf dirt on the tape or vide() head. Depending
uu the cassette, this fairly infrequently
occurs even if the cassette is brand new or
is not used a lot.
If this lheezing point is created while
playing back, you can solve this problem
and see the pictures by rewinding afler
slightly forwarding. Such a freezing point
cannot be recovered if it was created while
recording.
To prevent such a problem, use the Sony
mini DV cassette. It is recommended you
use a cleaning cassette (optional) befure
