Product ReviewsSony V8-25CLD 8 Mm Head Cleaning Tape

Clean Heads Mean Better Quality

I use a Digital8 camera from long ago to bring my archived concerts into digital state on a computer. The tapes are over a decade old and they do decade and leave particles on the playback and record heads. This unit cleans them off and saves a lot of money rather than sending the camera recorders back to Sony for cleaning.Read full review...

Worked Perfectly

I was transferring 8mm videos from our old Sony Handicam which we hadn't used for at least 15 years. After transferring several videos i started getting a lot of noise in the picture. I searched and searched online for a cleaning tape and finally found one on eBay. It was pricey but it cleaned the head on my Handicam perfectly. Read full review...

Cleans the head like new

Have my old Sony HI8 video recorder and a Sony Video Player which of course need cleaning over time. This product does the job as required.
Would recommend to anyone with this type video equipment.Read full review...

Works well!

Thank goodness they still produce these in Japan. The cleaning tape can be used numerous times, and has easy instructions. Best option available.

Hard to find head cleaner tape still available and good price

Glad to find head-cleaner tape still available. Good price and shipping. Just wish directions were more English oriented.

Excellent Sony product

I used it to clean the heads on an old Sony video recorded.After one minute it had removed most of the accumulated grime.

Worked exactly how it should

Did exactly what I needed. My dads old video recorder wasn't playing the 8mm tapes correctly anymore, the screen was fuzzy and covered in black and white horizontal lines. I put this tape in, pressed play for 15 secs and the picture is clear again so we can watch our old tapes. Read full review...

Fixed My Camera

My Old Sony Video8 wasn't reading tapes properly, when I was trying to digitally capture old footage. I thought the camera was done for, but I thought I would give this cleaning tape a shot. It fixed the camera playback and the footage now looks good.Read full review...

Cleaning tape results

Cleans well, however if you try to clean a tape made on another videocam, the results aren’t perfect.
