Maintenance Information
How to prevent moisture condensation
When bringing the camcorder from a cold place to a warm place, put the camcorder in a
plastic bag and allow it to adapt to room conditions over a period of time.
1 Be sure to tightly seal the plastic bag containing the camcorder.
2 Remove the bag when the air temperature inside it has reached the temperature
surrounding it (after about one hour).
Video Head Cleaning
Slight contamination Critical contamination
To ensure a clear picture, clean the video heads periodically
When playback pictures become noisy or barely visible, the video heads may be
contaminated. In such cases:
1 Clean the video heads with the Sony V8-25CLH cleaning cassette (not supplied),
referring to its instructions.
2 After cleaning, check to see if the picture is clear by recording on or playing back an
ordinary tape.
3 If the picture is still noisy, repeat cleaning. (Do not repeat cleaning more than 5 times.)
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 Sony
service facility.
