Question about Samsung SC-D103 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

1 Answer

No Picture I have had my unit for 4 months and all of the sudden I lost picture. I can playback from the card and the tape, but I get no picture from the viewfinder. I can still see all of the "onscreen" displays from the menu and counter. Has anyone had this issue and does anyone have a fix? Thanks

This camera has had a history of the CCD imager failing which will cause the failure you are describibg. Please contact Samsung and arrange to have the camera sent back to have it replaced at no charge to you. Please let Samsung know that you are aware of the CCD problem and you do not expect to pay for this repair. Good Luck my friend. Joe Weibel customelectronics.org

Records fine but playsback with poor picture quality. Tape will playback on another recorder fine.
The video heads are dirty. Clean the heads and your picture should be fine. If a cleaning tape does not clear up the problem, try running a blank tape throught the unit from beginning to end in play mode.

Keep us posted.

Distorted sound on playback, samsung mini dv camcorder.
Try a DV tape cleaner first. If that doesn't work, see what it would take to get the audio heads realigned. Any camera store can do that for you.

One possible cause is that normal recording
could not be performed because the heads were
dirty at the time of recording. Clean the heads,
and perform recording and playback again. If
normal playback can be performed, the heads are
clean. Before an important recording, be sure to
conduct a test recording to make sure that normal
recording can be performed.

≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning,
the problem may be the tape. If so, try another
cassette.

≥During playback, the picture or sound may be
interrupted momentarily, but this is not a
malfunction of the Camcorder. (One possible
cause is that the playback is interrupted by dirt
or dust that momentarily adheres to the heads.)

Vidio recorder when i record it wont play back what is recorded but it will play pre recorded tapes Is it campatable for LG television please model no VR550/07
If it plays back pre recorded tapes then there is nothing wrong with that section of the unit. Does it playback audio and not picture or does it not playback anything.
Also, when trying to playback a recording what is seen of the screen? Snow(black and white dots or wiggly picture?

The unit uses two separate circuits to record and playback tapes. Is any thing else connected to the unit while you are recording? If you are using anything plugged into other ports on the recorder it may not see the camera input causing it to not record anything..

the problem is with the video head. either it's dirty or broken. if cleaning tape is not solving the problem then i fear you have to get the head changed. an expensive repair.

No playback on DCR-TRV103
In playback mode the lCD displays the battery time, hi8 symbol and the tape counter. all the functions work the tape will play, rewind, fast forward. The screen stays blank on playback and the tape counter stays at 0:00:00 eventhough I can see the tape turning. I also hooke the camera to my tv and I got no picture.
