We recommend RCA cassettes be used with your camcorder. Use of poor quality or damaged tapes can
contaminate the video heads, resulting in snow or no picture during playback. Head cleaning is not covered
under warranty. It is considered normal maintenance. Playing a new RCA tape for approximately 30
minutes will often satisfactorily clean the heads and improve your picture.
