GL2 hea cleaning/tape FF RW
by Dean Mikulla (Marshall Movies) on Jul 2, 2008 at 11:57:32 am

I have a new GL2 and have used only Panasonic AY-DVM63PQ tapes. I'dont use the GL2 for capture or playing. I'm on my 9th tape and got the "your heads need cleaned" message. It went away and I finished the 3 minutes left on the tape with no problem. However, the last tape I used, during playback on my capture cam, was very jumpy and weird. during recording on that same tape , I turned the GL2 off , and turned it back on and that footage is perfect. Seems electronic to me ?

1-What is the best head cleaning practice aside from sending the cam in for service? Any recommended head cleaners?

2-I read during my forum search on this subject, that you should fast forward and then rewind your tapes prior to recording. Do I do this on the GL2 or my capture cam and if i do it on the GL2 ,does this put extra wear on the GL2?
Thanks for the advise, Dean
