1) Play the tape back on the same machine that recorded it.
2) Run a head cleaning cassette which is approved by the
on the manufacturer of your camcorder. Be sure to follow
the instructions that come with it. DON'T over-do it!
3) Take your camcorder to a repair shop along with the
tape and tell them what happened and what you want.
4) Next time, don't ignore the "Clean Head" message.
Carry a head cleaning cassette in the camera bag.
