You need a Hi8/8mm head cleaning tape, there are other methods but I would not advise pocking around in the tape drive / head mechanism unless you know exactly what you're doing - otherwise you might as well throw the camcorder in the bin now! |

| Help please "micky savage" wrote in message ... Hi Group, Can anyone tell me how to clean the heads on my hi 8 video camera. Micky Leeds U.K Are you sure the heads need a clean? Very occasionally I've had "dirty head" problems and they've gone away after I've played some more tape. I assume that using a cleaning tape works, but my cleaning tape hasn't been used yet. -- M Stewart Milton Keynes, UK -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

The tape you ran through wasn't labeled "cleaning tape", but it acted as one. |

As long as you don't then use the tape again, especially in another machine! |
