hold reset with batt on cam. then place on wall charger. back and forth till it ejects tape fully. if this doesnt work flat rate to send in usually is about 250

I have a dcr trv340 and the tape keeps coming back out.

I attached the power lead switched on and then unplugged and removed the lead. re boot and the cassette door opened.

On many cameras , the picture format that you can save on memory stick is not the same that you can have by recording on tapes. It should be tha same on your handycam.

You can increase memory stick to at least 2GB, that is what sony reccomends, you can test a 4 gb to 16 gb at the shop, if it works , then buy it.

However, the quality of movies grabbed on memory stick, should be far less than the one of movies recorded on tape.

Hi
See if this works--If you are on battery there may not be enough power .Charge the battery or use the the mains power through the transformer and see if it works.
Hope this helps

Hello dear sir;
I have SONY handy cam(model 42E) that finger touch keys doesn’t work .what do I do now.

Good Day, you need to supply 4.5V DC regulated to the loading motor, however you should disconnect the connector from main board to loading motor, in order not to damage the driver IC. If your technically inclined, and you have the equipment, do it, if your not sure, just refer it to the nearest svc ctr. thanks
