The Exact thing you need for D8 Sony DCR-TRV Models
(5 out of 5) by Ronald M. Oberbeck on Jul 3, 2006 (Wyoming, MI USA)The Exact thing you need for D8 Sony DCR-TRV Models. Really. It works fine. It does fix the camera when you see that prompt that flashes after a few years of use that says "CLEANING CASSETTE" "CLEANING CASSETTE" over and over. You can't get by without this thing. I just wish I would have bought it when it was $9.99 at my local store years ago. The shipping is about the same price of the item, but good luck finding one at your local store. After you open it and stick it in your camera, you will be A-OK again in 10 seconds. This is it folks. Crack open the wallet and whip out the Credit card. Also, I do not work for any Co. affiliated with this company or product. I have no agenda. I mean what I wrote.

Excellent and Useful Product
(5 out of 5) by DWC on Jan 2, 2007 (San Diego, CA United States)By virtue of transferring V8 tape to DV, I became aware of the image quality before and after head cleaning. After cleaning, the video was considerably better, clearer and with better color quality even though the tapes were 15 years old. Cleaning the tape heads was extremely easy and well worth the very reasonable price. Buy one and use it. You'll like the results.

Sony V825CLD Camcorder Cleaning Cassette 8mm
(5 out of 5) by Michael Amaral on Feb 16, 2007Great cleaner which I could not find at any of the local super stores. The only negative is the costly shipping for such a small item.

Has Revived My Sony TR-120 Several Times
(5 out of 5) by Merlin on Jan 11, 2009 (San Antonio, TX)Stupid Spinning Head, Tape Based Video Cameras!
They all rub a little oxide off the tape as they spin. And before you know it, the recording head becomes clogged and no longer writes :-(
.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ???
.
I bought 2 of these cleaner cassettes a couple of years ago, and they have kept my Sony TR-120 running LONG past it's expected lifetime.
.
Soon it'll be time for a new Video Camera. I am NOT crazy about the current crop of DVD-R based cameras. Hard-Drive based cameras are the current way to go - - BOTH are power hungry solutions.
.
BUT !!!
.
With the arrival of Solid-State drives (VERY little battery drain, high reliability, currently expensive, but coming down rapidly) it won't be long before it doesn't matter that these cleaning tapes aren't available any more.
