Question about Sony Handycam DCR-TRV355 Digital Camcorder

2 Answers

Camcorder shows condensation problem most of the time

Sony Digital Camcorder (DCR-TRV355E) shows condensation error (code C21:00) almost all the time, even though the camera is totally dry and hasn't been taken outside the house for days. I suppose it's a faulty humidity sensor or a fault in the connections to the humidity sensor. I'd rather disable the whole humidity sensor and live without the condensation warning, and at least have a usable camera! Any ideas how I could fix or mask the problem?

Dew Sensor needs cleaning ... since your camcorder must be more than 10 years old I'm not sure if you would be willing to spend more than $50 to have it looked at! Not having the same model myself but you can try the following: Here's link to a picture of typical moisture sensor. clean it with a q-tip and alcohol.

Its a possibility that the sensor could be bad but I'll bet that its a small surface mounted capacitor thats bad. These are common for the caps to go bad, and when they do start to leak, the camcorder should be taken into the shop asap, AS THE LONGER YOU WAIT THE MORE DAMAGE the Capacitors will cause, as they eat up the tiny traces on the board and then the board has to be replaced. Good Luck

Does theCanon UC-X2 camcorder play 8mm tapes?
Hi-8 camcorders might be backward-compatible for playing tapes. I bought a model which could be switched between the two modes - Sony DCR-TRV355E.

Error code C:31.23
Sony is pretty secretive about the :23 code. It can't be found anywhere. However, to service the C:31 code, Sony recommends you do the following:

  1. Turn off the camcorder.
  2. Remove the battery or disconnect the AC power adapter for 60 seconds.
  3. Insert the battery or reconnect the AC adapter.
  4. Turn on the camcorder.
  5. If the error message appears, service may be required.
If your camcorder still shows the same error code, then you'll have to send in your camcorder for service.

My nice old reliable DCR-PC101 won't fire up as it is giving me the condensation warning (won't load a mini DV) and it is clearly "dry". What is up with that? I have hit reset button - removed battery etc....
What's the error code? You said "condensation warning", I assumed its C21:00. Lots of smacking required have been posted for the problem. Try this one ... Here's link to a picture of typical moisture sensor. clean it with a q-tip and alcohol. (http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/sony-hvr-a1-hdr-hc-series/88013-moisture-condensation-2.html)

Here is the solution to your problem:  C:31:42 = FG (film guide) fault during normal drum operations. Load the tape again, and perform operations from the beginning! Hope this helps.

the tape leads have come of my sony DCR TRV 325E camcorder. How cn I put them back, or is there any way I can get something to play my tapes on. It is a two pronged piece that the tape reel goes around .(one prong is black and the other in silver. I think it belongs on the let hand side of the tape feed. The right hand side has one silver prong that is still in situ. If it can't be fixed is there another means of playing back the tapes I have recorded. An adapter perhaps.
