Question about Sony Handycam DCR-TRV730 Digital Camcorder

Menu select dial problem

My sony DCR-TRV730 camcorder has an unusal problem: Menu sel/exec dial will only select 'Preset Titles'. The only wat to get into the menu is via the menu button when thst LCD panel is open,and the only way to execute an option is via the 'push exec' button. Is there a simple way to solve this or am I forced to live with this problem.

When trying to adjust, select, or use the SEL/PUSH/Exec scroll button after hitting the menu button on my camera all it does it immediately go to the exit button.

It will not let me out of the title area. The menu will only show me the option under the different headings but will not go to the format section nor other sun sections. Have tried a new memory stick and get the fast blinking error with the new one too.

- On my TRC740 no matter what choice I make (cam, memory, etc) I get the Title options and can't select them either - am sent back, pushing up the select dail no longer gets me anywhere. Can not format my memory card (even bought a new one). A dead end in the menu.

The camera works but can't use/format the memory stick and any attempt to use the menu sends me to select titles ( and can't do that).

I can't slect anything in the menu. Whatever I try to use I get 'titles' and even there i can't execute a selection. BTW, can't format the memory card, even after buying a new one.

I can't get the menu to select anything. When I try I am sent to the 'title' section and can't even select there. Can't format even a new memory card. The entire menu is not working. Have turned off and on and tried to reset with no luck.

I can get in the menu but can't migrate, Get stuck in the title section and can't operate that either.

Mode for playback of older 8mm tapes using Sony DCR-TRV730 ?

In 1990s Sony camcorder records movie in analog format so playing in digital camcorder like DCR-TRV730 doesn't mean it will be converted in digital format and you can not import file in PC for editing purpose. You will get analog signal while playing back old cassettes.

Regarding SP, LP speed, its decided at time of recording. Camera sens SP or LP automatically in playback and set itself accordingly.

If you want to convert old cassettes into digital format, connect our camcorder to DVD recorder and burn DVD which is digital format, copy DVD files in to PC and do desired editing.
