Why won't my Canon XH A1 power up

Hi Greg, you need to provide more information, for instance , from what medium to what medium, (media types.) Please add the detail and resubmit

It could be the blown fuse that located on the main circuit board.

Jack you posted in the wrong category. If you post in Canon video you'll have better luck or try the DVX User forums for that model:

YOU are connecting through fire wire so go to easy setup and choose dv 24 p

You need to upgrade you ingest system. Windows Media Player(and your system card) probably can't handle the load. Try "Scenalyzer" it's economical, versatile and stable( http://scenalyzer.com/).

Check your little lock and standby lever at the back of your hand strap, its likely positioned between standby and lock.

Just b f it....

Maybe theres a bug in the battery.
