VX2100 problems
|
Can't Post

My VX2100 has been acting up lately. A few weeks ago I didn't have any new tapes handy and I popped in a used one. Since then, it seems that everything I record has glitches in the image, indicative of a dirty recording head. I used a Panasonic DV dry cleaning tape (10 sec play) thinking that would solve the problem, but I still get pixilated images mainly when panning or cuts between shots. In the last 3 weeks I've tried the tape cleaning once before each event, but the one I did last night has the problem for about the first 15 minutes. The interesting thing is that the last half seems quite clean, so I'm a little confused.
I've been reading several posts on this forum for cleaning suggestions, but I have tried all these. I found an edit shop close by and they told me that they use the alcohol and cotton swab technique, but that makes me a little nervous.  Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a reputable (and inexpensive) service shop in the Denton (TX) area?
Thanks for any help.
