Error C:31:32

SOURCE: C:31:23 Flashing and viewfinder says "Reinsert the casette"

i know what setmaz says sounds kind of ridiculous; but i got desperate and tried it myself... i can say that as far as i go its a proven method and the camera will start working

the reel sensor is the problem of your camera...in my job as a technician i always encounter that..it is a poor connection of the sensor to the mainboard..try to clean the contact using only a pencil eraser..

Check out sony's web site, they are providing all the drivers for there camera's

Same here. When I place cassette into the carriage and snap it shut the servo does not activate to pull the carriage in the rest of the way. Has anyone found any tech solutions for this?

the error c:31:23 error pertains to one of the reel (part that turns the tape) is malfunctioning. although you can play back videos, you would definitely have issue w/ recording, rewinding or fast forwarding the tape.what you can do is to turn the camcorder off.remove the battery and ac adapter for at least a minute.insert the battery or reconnect the adapter.you can also try pressing the reset button (located near the top of the speaker, on the panel where lcd screen goes to).make sure cam is on when you do that.if still your getting this problem, service would be needed for your cam.hope this helps :)
