1-5 HEAD CLEANING
Repeated recording and playback leads to accumulation of dust and other particles on the video and audio heads. Excessive accumulation will adversely affect the picture or sound quality. If head cleaning is not performed periodically, a type of mosaic noise called block noise may appear in the picture or the sound may be interrupted. Be sure to clean the tape transport system with a dedicated head cleaning tape (optionally available DCL-5) once every 20 hours. Use a dedicated head cleaning tape only. For details on use of the dedicated head cleaning tape, refer to the instructions provided with it.
