Microphone
The microphone picks up the sound
during a recording. It is more sensitive to
sounds coming from the direction the
lens is pointed.
Flying Erase Head
A separate erase head is mounted on
the spinning headwheel (hence the term
“flying”). This allows you to make clean
edits without the “glitches” or “rainbow
noise” that may occur at the beginning or
the end of recordings.
Auto Head Cleaner
The camcorder has an automatic head-
cleaning system. Whenever a cassette is
inserted or removed, this system is
activated.
The head-cleaning system minimizes the
need for accessory cleaners or cleaning
by a Servicenter.
