Precautions
Dirty Video Heads
Using the camcorder when the video tape is
dirty may cause the heads to clog, producing
noise on the recorded image or preventing the
image from being recorded at all.
If the video heads become clogged, the
indicator appears on the screen. Contact the
nearest SHARP service centre or your dealer for
further advice.
Using a Cleaning Tape (Commer-
cially Available)
Video head cleaning can be done by using a
commercially available cleaning tape.
Notes:
• Excessive use of the cleaning tape, however,
may cause damage to the video heads. Please
read the instructions accompanying the
cleaning tape carefully before using it.
• The fast forward and rewind functions cannot be
used when the cleaning tape is in the
camcorder.
