Problem for JVC GR-D290 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

Black Horizontal Lines on Screen




By 999smokey on Aug 16, 2006

" "
Please, please can someone help me !! I recently purchased the above camcorder (about 5 days ago). I have noticed that when I try and play back the recording and view it on the LCD monitor it has about 5 black lines of equal width and spacing horizontally across the screen. I am using a genuine JVC tape and original battery.

How do I get rid of this, or what have I done wrong.

I am unsure if it is operator error or there is something wrong with the camcorder.

I look forward to a reply.

- Unfortunately the problem could not be resolved and a full refund was given. I have now purchased a replacement and all seems well so far.

All I have been told is that there could have been a damaged pixel or a problem with the tape !!! That this problem apparently is very rare.

-   I have the same problem. I probably don't have more that 8-10 hours of use on this camera. For the past year it has just been sitting in its case, because I feel like someone out there may know what will fix it. I have about six horizontal lines across my screen in both record and or playback mode. The top row has picture, the second row all fuzzy, third row has picture, fourth row all fuzzy, etc. etc. If you can help please let me know.
Thanks,

mostly this is the result of defective or dirty video head. simply clean the video head by using head cleaning cassette. If it solves the problem, well, but if the problem remains contact the vendor.
