Head Cleaning

Use the BCT-HD12CL Cleaning Cassette to
clean the video and audio heads. Read the
instructions included with the cleaning cassette
carefully, as improper usage can damage the
heads.
When you insert the cleaning cassette, it is
automatically ejected after a cleaning operation
which lasts for about five seconds.
Note
Do not run the cleaning tape more than six times in
succession to avoid damaging the heads.
Refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette for
detailed information about cleaning the video and
audio heads.

Condensation

If you move the camcorder from a very cold place
to a warm place, or use it in a damp location,
condensation may form on the head drum. If the
camcorder is operated in this state, the tape may
adhere to the drum, causing a failure or even
permanent damage.
Note
Before moving the unit from a cold place to a warm
place, make sure no cassette is loaded in the unit.
When condensation is detected
If the condensation detection mechanism detects
condensation on the head drum during use, a
popup window appears on the display of the
control panel, displaying the message "VTR:
007F HUMID ERROR" (see page 159).
See the figure under "Errors Detected in the VTR
Module" (page 157) for more information about this
and other error messages.
When condensation is detected, the camera enters tape
protection mode (see page 158).
