Scott, Good to see you yesterday. Our techs say to use our BCT-HD12CL on the J series players as well.

What about the Sony J-3 VTR which plays back Beta-Oxide, -SP, -SX, -IMX, and DigiBeta. Which head cleaner do you use on the deck??? -----Original Message----- From: Chambers, Richard [mailto:Richard.Chambers@am.sony.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 12:17 PM Subject: This information just came from our product & marketing group. We're seeing a big increase in interest in the Beta IMX format. This will be a key technology for Sony going forward. So, here's the latest advisory... To all: we have had some questions on what tape cleaner to use for IMX VTRs and per our factory information the following applies: Please strongly recommend the use the BCT-HD12CL Cleaning Tape in the IMX VTRs. The use of the BCT-D12CL (Digital Betacam) cleaning tape in an IMX VTR can cause serious problems. Please make sure your customers know.
