If this happens, clean the video heads with the Sony V8-25CLH cleaning cassette (not supplied). After
checking the picture, if it is still "noisy", repeat the cleaning. (Do not repeat cleaning more than 5 times.)
Caution
Do not use a commercially available wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.
