I tried to play back some videos we shot and it just shows a blank screen even the tipe used in the tape just shows "--:--:--". I even tried other tapes which I was sure had something in it. But it still came out the same. What possibly could be wrong?
Some common faults with most camcorders and video playback units:
Dirty heads
Failure in the head assembly
Failure in the head pre-amp section
Failure in the main video processing section
Internal system timing fault
Servo lock fault condition
uPC is hung in its operation and requires a re-set
The unit should be properly checked at a service center to determine the exact cause of failure.

I have the same problem. I reviewed something on a tape to see what it was, rewound the tape to transfer on to my computer and now it only shows a blank blue screen.
I am facing the same problem.
I cannot rewind / playback/ ffoward the already recorded tapes. The recording function however is working!!
Even the Menu button is not operating.
