No picture or distorted picture on lcd screen
I have a DCR-100, which is basically the same camera, and had the same problem after I hadn't used it for about 5 years. After running a cleaning tape through it four times it became much clearer, but sometimes, reviewing my equally old tapes the pixellation/distortion reappeared spasmodically. I ran the tape at FF to the end, and then back again. Seemed to fix it. I think after a long period of disuse the recording heads oxidise and it takes quite a bit to clean them. As to why loosening up the tape works - no idea!
SOURCE: distorted picture when looking through view finder or lcd screen
the video playback is sampled off the video out and independently processed sorta like a TV signal to project on the lcd screen.
horizontal lines means you lost sync circuit and needs troubleshooting. Hopefully maybe a bad connection with a ribbon cable for the ICs and components are hard to change and jammed tight. I would order a video board.
