I had blue bars across the screen of my Panasonic PVGS150 camcorder. I placed the cleaner in,pushed play for 10 seconds and that corrected the problem.

You just insert this item into your camera and run it for 10 seconds. It is very clear: only do it for 10 seconds, maybe do it twice, but stop there. I guess it's abrasive and prolonged use could ruin the heads.

Well, I didn't have my glasses on, and ran the thing for 10 seconds, then removed it and inserted the normal tape. But I got distracted or something, and stuck the cleaner back in the camera and played it for a couple of minutes before I figured out what was going on. The camera seems to be working OK for now but I really thought I had ruined it.

This product's case should be the same bright orange that's on a cop's traffic vest, with "HEAD CLEANER" written in big letters all over it. Apart from that, the product did fix my camera and I was pleased with it.

Bought this to try to fix my "not-working-so-well" Sony mini-DV camcorder. The camcorder was a proven workhorse so when it started acting up I thought it might be the end. I then realized I had NEVER cleaned it. Put this cleaner in for 10 seconds, problem solved. Can;t ask much more than that.
