In such cases, use an optional cleaning cassette. Insert it and
play back. If the cassette is used more than once
consecutively, damage to the video heads may result. After
the camcorder plays back for about 20 seconds, it stops
automatically. Also refer to the cleaning cassette?s
instructions.
If, after using the cleaning cassette, the problems still exist,
consult your nearest JVC dealer.

video tape tend to become dirty and worn out over time. In
order to maintain a clear picture at all times, periodic check-
ups are recommended after using the unit for about 1,000
hours. For periodic check-ups please consult your nearest
JVC dealer. |
