Make sure you select good quality tapes for your camcorder.
Use of poor quality
tapes or tapes that have been damaged
or mishandled
can contaminate
the video
heads, resulting
in a snowy picture or no picture at all during playback.
Because
there
is no control over the type of tape purchased
or rented by consumers,
head cleaning
is
not covered
under warranty.
It is considered
normal maintenance.
If a snowy picture or no-picture
condition
persists,
consider
the use of a chemical
nonabrasive
head-cleaning
tape.
Be sure to follow the directions
with the head-
cleaning
kit carefully.
Improper
use of a head cleaner
might damage your camcorder.
