Sony dcr-trv120 playback (by 2 users)


posted by 06fe550 on Jan 18, 2008


hi all
i have a sony dcr-trv120, recently it developed a problem with the playback, on screen the picture started to go pixelly in 3 lines across the screen now it has 3 grey lines (no picture) but the rest of the screen shows the picture perfectly, i have tried head cleaning tapes but as the picture is so good on the areas that work i can only assume something has failed with the pickup of the picture from the tape, if i playback to a tv the same occurs

thanks for any help
tim

the problem is with the video head. either it's dirty or broken. if cleaning tape is not solving the problem then i fear you have to get the head changed. an expensive repair.

I have the same problem on my sony dcr-trv320E. I have cleaned the heads, and still get the horizontal stripes on all tapes. Will bring it to a store to fix.
