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.
