We recommend our 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 tape for approximately
30 minutes will often satisfactorily clean the heads and improve your picture.
