Question about Sony Handycam DCR-TRV900 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

1 Answer

Auidio drops I was taping my cousins wedding of all things when my audio began to drop out at irregular intervals. The actual video contains no video indications of bad digital information (pixilated frames etc), but the audio track contains quick glitches of silence. These drops began to occur after a few months without using the camera. The audio drops out both when using the camera mic and when using an auxiliary mic. Do these cameras have a history of bad audio connections? Is this a hardware problem? Is it possible to fix on my own?

While your monitoring the sound when recording it cuts out or while you playback the tape it dropps out? if it's noticed during playback it's one 3 things. the heads are dirty, the tape tension is low or the heads are bad. send it to video tech service in sacramento. that guy is super cool.

Try taping the batteries in place before putting the cover on and disabling the vibration in the controller.

This is usually caused by an oxidized ,misaligned or defective Audio/Video drum. Try running a cleaning tape through the camera. If this does not solve the problem the camera will need to be repaired qualified service technician.

Thats a possibility. I don't know why it costs so much since all you have to to is take a small screw driver and adjust the audio head. You might try cleaning it with a DV tape cleaner and see if that makes a difference. It's cheaper than the repair shop.

Try smacking the side of the camera relatively hard with the palm of your hand. Eject the tape and reinsert. You may need to do this a couple of times.

Luxman DAT Recording problems
If the tapes you are using are "tight" it may be causing both the drop out and rew problems. Always a good idea when you buy fresh recording media to ff then threw it through to ensure that the tape is layered flat. they can tighten up in transit sometimes in shipping from manufacture. The unit will need some service work done also. A head clean could also help with the drop out. Use a Chamois tipped head cleaning tool to do thisusing iso alchol only AND A VERY GENTLE APPROACH. The drum heads themselves are very small and VERY FRAGILE!! Easily broken if you do not clean the correctly. Take it to a vcr/video camera tech for a clean and service of the tape path.

Never store your tapes or camcorder near anything magnetic. Sounds like it could be a dirty tape head (the one that reads the tape) or a loose connection with the wires. Try a different cable first if you can, then go on to cleaning the tape head with a Q-tip and 99% alcohol. The tape head is located on the shiny round metal thing that the tape runs on. Questions? Don't hesitate to ask. Your tape should be fine as long as it wasn't near a magnet.
