I have a Sony Mini DV Camcorder about 7 years old. Just today, when in VCR mode - it has solid lines on the playback - like a stripe - everyother stripe is solid gray, and picture - like a zebra. Does this mean that I just need to clean something? Are there mini DV cleaners that you simply insert and play to clean like old cassette tape cleaners?
Yes, need to clean video head of camcorder. Put MiniDV head cleaning tape in camera and clean its video head as per instructions on cleaning tape. Thanks.
