Timecode lost

[NO CA$H]

I was just logging clips and everything was going well and then all of a sudden the timecode disapeared. I put in a different tape and the same thing.

Anyone know whats wrong?

Ok I'm getting timecode now with green and pink pixel stripe things. I guess the heads are dirty?

 

[Spot]

That would suggest dirty heads, or a bad sector on the tape.

Its fixed. How long am I suppose to keep the cleaning tape in for?

The instrcutions are only in Japanese.

If you mean running one though your DVX. 10 seconds.

Japanese? What brand of cleaning tape?

 

[NO CA$H]

Its for my DSR-11 deck.

 

[Filmjunkie677]

Oh, deck, IDK.... I'm assuming 10 seconds or less.
How much you pay for your dsr-11?? The lowest price I can find is $1650 and I dont know about spendin that much on a deck. Is it worth it?

 

[NO CA$H]

It gives you peace of mind knowing that your not screwing up the heads on your DVX.

I paid $1600 I think.
