Use of poor quality tapes or tapes that
have been damaged or mishandled can
contaminate the video heads, resulting in
a snowy picture or no picture at all during
playback. Because there is no control
over the type of tape purchased or rented
by consumers, head cleaning is not
covered under warranty. It is considered
normal maintenance.
We recommend that RCA cassettes be
used with your camcorder. The tape in
these cassettes is of high-quality
formulation. It has been manufactured to
our critical specifications for excellent
performance. Use of tape not meeting
these specifications could considerably
reduce the performance of your
camcorder.
