MiniDV / HDV Head Cleaning Tapes — Sony & TDK (Multiple Variants Available)

Head cleaning tapes help reduce dropouts, blue screens, tape errors, and clogged video heads — essential maintenance for MiniDV, HDV, and DV users.

These units appear unused, though they may have been previously opened or lightly used by the previous owner.

TDK DV Head Cleaner

• Professional dry cleaning system

• Known for gentle cleaning and consistent results

MiniDV / HDV camcorders rely on a rotating drum mechanism that builds up microscopic residue over time.

Using a dry-type cleaning cassette every few tapes (or when errors occur) helps prevent:

• Playback glitches

• Recording dropouts

• “HEAD DIRTY” warnings

• Blue screens

• Tracking issues

All tapes are from original brands — no generic or unsafe cleaners.
