Flying Erase Head

A separate erase head is mounted on the spinning headwheel (hence the term

"flying"). This allows you to make clean

edits without the "glitches" or "rainbow

noise" that may occur at the beginning or

the end of recordings.

Auto Head Cleaner

The camcorder has an automatic head- cleaning system. Whenever a cassette is inserted or removed, this system is activated.

The head-cleaning system minimizes the need for accessory cleaners or cleaning by a Servicenter.
