Maintenance information and
precautions
How to prevent moisture condensation
When you bring your camcorder from a cold
place into a warm place, put your camcorder in a
plastic bag and tightly seal it. Remove the bag
when the air temperature inside the plastic bag
has reached the surrounding temperature (after
about one hour).
Maintenance information
Cleaning the video heads
To ensure normal recording and clear pictures,
clean the video heads. The video heads may be
dirty when:
•Mosaic-pattern noise appears on the playback
picture.
•Playback pictures do not move.
•Playback pictures do not appear.
•The x indicator and "
CASSETTE" message appear one after another
or the x indicator flashes on the screen.
If the above problem [a], [b] or [c] occurs, clean
the video heads for 10 seconds with the Sony
DVM-12CLD cleaning cassette (optional). Check
the picture and if the above problem persists,
repeat cleaning.
If the video heads get dirtier, the entire screen
becomes blue [c].
Note on the video head
The video head suffers from wear after long use.
If you cannot obtain a clear image even after
using a cleaning cassette, it might be because the
video head is worn. Please contact your Sony
dealer or local authorised Sony service facility to
have the video head replaced.
Cleaning the LCD screen
If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen dirty,
we recommend using the LCD Cleaning Kit
(optional) to clean the LCD screen.
