Hi nash

I ma having the same problem... Did you get a solution in the end?

SOURCE: My JVC GR-D290U is having a pixelation problem.

Have check your cassette for some crumpled or damage, if it's is ok, I'm afraid this problem cannot be solve by yourself, there is a problem on the tape transport for sure and it needs skill and instrument, have it check to the expert.

You are finding the same problems as most Hard-drive and DVD recording cam user these media's simply do not work, they are too un-reliable to put your special holidays and good events on, the only way is TAPE cameras (unless you are not too bothered about loss of your special times.
Sony have dropped DVD cameras already after 3 years of people having problems, and I hear that the hard-drive models will go the same way next year when new tape models come out in the spring.

SOURCE: The camera lists error code

if amcorder drive itself not recognised in the pc when connected, how do we recover data in this case...?
