Canon MVX-45i, MVX40i manual Cleaning the Video Heads

Cleaning the Video Heads

When the message “HEADS DIRTY, USE CLEANING CASSETTE” appears, or when the playback picture becomes distorted, the video heads need to be cleaned.

To maintain the best picture quality, we recommend cleaning the video heads frequently with the Canon DVM-CL Digital Video Head Cleaning Cassette or a commercially available dry cleaning cassette.

Do not use wet type cleaning cassettes as this may damage the camcorder.

Tapes already recorded with dirty video heads may not be played back correctly even when you clean the video heads.
