Camcorder keeps asking me to reinsert cassette

Try reinserting a Brand new Cassette . If this dos`nt work take the battery out over night reinsert the battery with the Brand new cassette in it .if you used the recorder to play very much footage as a viewer it has over heated it . the sensor that sense`s a cassette is just a little out of place with a little skill and if you know what you are looking for you can put this back in possition!

Take it to the repair service. I am really suspect who's still use a reinsert cassette so today,Refer to old Sony DCR-TRV285E Accessory ,and I didn't know a Sony DCR-TRV285E Digital-8 Digital Camcorder model ,please say clear and correct !

search youtube for vids on this Sony camcorder C:32:11 problem
there are several.......

Used to get this problem and would just go about take the battery out,and also give the thing a good whack,

when ever to get this kind of message just try to fwd the tape mannualy, or just make sure tht when u are rew. the tape dont rewind tht completely....

Believe it or not, after having the same problem "re-insert cassette" and "reattach power source", and after talking to Sony and them telling me it would be $111.00 to repair, I hit mine with the palm of my hand twice on each side and twice on the back by the battery and it actually worked--haha Go Figure!!

Hi, I had the same problem. When I inserted the new (or old ) cassette, it was showing me the same simbol as you are describing here.... The one thing to do here is to let it check in some CamcorderReparingCentre. After I let it to repare it they told me that there was some kind of engine broken , I paid £60 for reparing but my camcorder is working again,properly like before...

reinsert the cassette problem

Turn the unit off and hit the back of the camera twice near the battery compartment with the palm of your hand. Sounds crazy but it worked with my camcorder Sony DCR-TRV480. Problem started when I used 8MM Head Cleaner. I think the roller got stuck inside camcorder. The trouble code came up C:31:22. Hope this helps.
