Video Head Cleaning

To ensure normal recording and clear pictures, clean the video heads. When v appears in the viewfinder in CAMERA mode or playback pictures are “noisy” or hardly visible, the video heads may be contaminated.

If this happens, clean the video heads with the Sony V8-25CLH cleaning cassette (not supplied). After checking the picture, if it is still “noisy”, repeat the cleaning. (Do not repeat cleaning more than 5 times in one session.)

Caution

Do not use a commercially available wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.

Note

If the V8-25CLH cleaning cassette is not available in your area, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
