Digital video camcorders are recording signals in very thin lines (as
thin as 1/8 of a hair). Therefore, following symptoms may appear if
video heads become dirty even a little.
• Mosaic (Fig. 1) or stripes (Fig. 2) appear on
the picture during playback.
• Sound becomes distorted, or there is no
sound during playback.
If such symptoms appear, clean the video heads
with the Canon

Cleaning Cassette* or a commercially available
dry cleaning cassette.
If the symptoms reappear shortly after the
cleaning, the videocassette may be defective.
Stop using the cassette.

the video heads after use before storing the camcorder.
