-   Sounding like tape is recording but no sound or video on playback. Sounds like rewinding and fastforwarding but nothing. I have a GR-D91U.-   Guest

-   Camera seems to be recording OK, but when play-back nothing shows any more. It was working fine since last week. I try some of my old tapes which I new they worked but again nothing shows on screen. I have reseted the camera but no luck. I hear the tape moving but nothnig shows. It seems as the head is dmaged !?! Is there anything I can do to check this out?

-   sorry the camera is the DCA-HC30/HC 40. Actually my camera will not play anything I have ever recorded. I hit rewind/play/ff and i can hear the tape moving but when I hit play-nothing. just the blue screen. when I record it seems to be recording though-   mdelamen

From the instruction manual from Canon for the XL1S (I have the same problem):

When mosaic-like noise appears on the playback picture, the video heads
may be dirty. When the video heads are badly contaminated, the camera
may show a blank blue screen.
• For the best picture possible, after using the camera for approximately
20 hours, clean the video heads using Canon’s DVM-CL Digital Video
Head Cleaning Cassette. If the “noise”remains, repeat the cleaning (up
to maximum of 5 times).
• Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette, as this can cause damage.
