To ensure normal recording and clear pictures, clean the video heads often. When the v indicator
flashes in the viewfinder or mosaic noise appears on the playback picture or part of the picture
remains, the video heads may be dirty.

[a] Slight contamination
[b] Critical contamination
If this happens, clean the video heads with the Sony DVM12CL cleaning cassette (not supplied). After
checking the picture, if it is still “noisy”, repeat the cleaning. (Do not repeat cleaning more than 5
times.)
Caution
Do not use a commercially available wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.
Note
If the DVM12CL (not supplied) cleaning cassette is not available in your area, consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
