thereis no control over the type of tapepurchasedor rentedby consumers,head
cleaning is not covered under warranty. It is considered normal maintenance.
If a snowy picture or no-picture condition persists, consider the use of a dry chemical
non-abrasive head-cleaning tape. Be sure to follow the directions with the head-
cleaning kit carefully. Improper use of a head cleaner may damage your camcorder.
