Maintenance information

Cleaning the LCD screen

If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen dirty, we recommend using a LCD Cleaning Kit (optional) to clean the LCD screen.

Cleaning the video head

To ensure normal recording and clear pictures, clean the video heads.

The video head may be dirty when:

–the x indicator and “ CLEANING CASSETTE” message appear one after another on the screen or the x indicator flashes on the screen.

–playback pictures contain noise.

–playback pictures are hardly visible.

–playback pictures do not appear.

[a]Slightly dirty

[b]Very dirty

If the above problem occurs, clean the video heads with the Sony V8-25CLD cleaning cassette (optional). Check the picture and if the above problem persists, repeat cleaning.

Note on video heads

When the playback pictures still contain noise even if you have cleaned the video heads with a cleaning cassette, the video heads may have worn down due to long use. If this is the case, they must be replaced with new heads. Contact your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility.
