HDR-HC1 Sony camcorder- reinsert the cassette error message




By wdthompson on Mar 07, 2009

" "
my camcorder just started displaying this message- the cassette assembly seems slower to open than it used to be- and when it does open, and I close it- I get the error message "reinsert the cassette". I have tried other tapes, and tried a reset as well as removing the battery for a period of time- message persists. I was able to get it to function during our recent vacation after numerous reinsertions of cassette tape- but now it is back to being very problematic.

Appreciate any help!

Bill,

The problem is with the S-reel. Take the tape out, remove the battery, and give it a slight bump. This usually fixes the issue for a couple of weeks. I haven't heard of any permenant fixes. I took my cam into circuit city (before they closed) twice for the same issue. Very frustrating when you don't know what the issue is.
