Head Cleaning

Always use the DVM12CL (mini size) or DV12CL
(standard size) Cleaning Cassette to clean the video and
audio heads. You can run the cleaning cassette for 10
seconds per cleaning operation. Follow the instructions for
the cleaning cassette, as inappropriate use of the cleaning
cassette can damage the heads.
To clean the heads
Insert the cleaning cassette. This automatically starts
cleaning. You cannot operate any tape transport control
buttons other than the EJECT button during the cleaning
operation.
After about 10 seconds, the cleaning cassette will be
automatically ejected.
