The video head

such cases, you must replace the video head. For details, contact your Sony dealer or
local authorized Sony service facility.
Notes

cassette.
•The cleaning cassette does not work in MEMORY/NETWORK (DCR-IP55 only) mode
(The message CHANGE TO “CAM” or “VCR” appears).
Cleaning the LCD screen
If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen dirty, we recommend using a LCD cleaning
cloth (supplied) to clean the LCD screen. When you use the LCD Cleaning Kit
(optional), do not apply the cleaning liquid directly to the LCD screen. Clean the LCD
screen with a cleaning paper moistened with the liquid.
