Hi, I read about a similar problem, but the solution wasn't clarified. During playback the audio "glitches," or "ticks." I bought head cleaners, and have run them more than a few times--the problem remains. I can't tell if the camera is recording with the glitches, or if they happen only in playback mode, because they seem to pop up at different times.
I have been advised NOT to send the camera to Sony. I bought it used, and am happy with it for the most part. I'm hoping this is a minor issue? Do I need new heads? An adjustment? Thanks for your time.
My camera does the same thing. It not only drops sound but also has a pixelation effect also. I had the drum motor replaced and a cleaning and alignment done. After about two uses the problem came back. The repair company said the drum motor was bad again. What parts do you usually have to replace to fix this type problem? Thanks for any help.

Audio "glitches" or dropout is a typical symptom of tape path misalignment. find a good local repair shop (are there any more of us still around?) and they should be able to perform this relatively simple alignment.
