Hey, folks, can't we just get along? This thread has developed a life
of its own, which has little, if anything pertaining to the original
post about MiniDV tape lubrication problems.
In an effort to get back to the original issue, I offer the following
post of my own, based upon my personal, first hand experience, not an
urban legend:

"It sure didn't take many Panasonic tapes through my VX-1000 to clog
the heads up bad enough so that when I sent it in for it's first
annual service (I used the Sony head cleaning tape 3-4 times during
the first year to keep it going), the service report had written in
bold printing across the face something to the effect of "USE ONLY
SONY TAPES" or "DO NOT MIX TAPE BRANDS" or some such. The Sony repair
station technician could obviously tell from the remaining debris in
it that it had seen more than one brand tape. In the subsequent 5
years I have only used Sony tapes and have NEVER had to use the head
cleaning tape again ;-) (And never received another love note from
the technicians!)
