Question about Panasonic AG-DVX100B DV Digital Camcorder

1 Answer

DVX100B has no picture, no output on screen or to my laptop

I've tried about 6 different tapes, and each has the same problem. I have no output on the screen, or on my laptop. I've been through all the steps in the manual, ensured I'm in VCR mode, etc. The motor is going, and I can hear it rewind, play, etc. but hte screen is just black except for the tape information. Thinking it might be an internal problem, I tried doing a capture clip in Final Cut, only to have the same problem - no picture. help me......!

Try a cleaning tape. It doesn't take much dirt to lose video playback with DV.

Toshiba Satellite A505 - Most of the time when I turn it on the screen is grey, with no text.
This sounds like a bad display on the laptop. Hook up an external monitor to the vga port on the laptop. You may need to toggle the display to output to the external monitor. This is generally accomplished by pressing the "FN" key + one of the F# keys. Look for an icon that resembles a monitor or it may say LCD. If the graphics display correctly on the external monitor, then you will need to replace the computer screen.

I have a couple VHS-C tapes that drag
This may be caused by a faulty adapter. 1. try playing in the camera. 2. try a different tape. 3. try a different adapter.99% this is a problem with the adapter or the tape. It really sounds like the tape isn't turning freely, which can be caused by a brake sticking, or spindle in the tape or adapter.

No picture on screen
Try connecting the CRT to a different (desktop or laptop) computer, to confirm that the CRT is still working.

Try connecting a different CRT (or LCD) monitor to your computer, to confirm that your computer is sending video-output.

If possible, try a different "data" cable between the computer and the CRT.

Not available in current mode flashes on screen. i,ve had the tv for 5 years and have not changed any connections. HP-S5053
I have found a temporary solution to this problem. If you hold in the menu buttom on the tv with a strong tape, it will eliminate the message you are getting. This is just a temporary fix though!

I have a Dell D600. It starts up to boot page and after 3-5 seconds the picture disappears but the laptop is still running. The indicator light near the power button with a 9 on it stays lit.
I have a similar problem currently. Boot and try pressing Fn+Up arrow repeatedly to raise brightness. Then flick the little button right above your volume control that tells the laptop youve closed it. If you see the screen flicker on/off then its the button. Otherwise reboot and try shining a light at the screen from different angles and see if you can see dark images. If you can see windows boot up but dark, then it is almost certainly your LCDs backlight. If you can't see dark images, next try using the VGA output plug at the back of your laptop to connect to a different monitor. Within less than 1 minute you should see the image on the external screen. If not, try pressing Fn+F8 a few times to toggle the output. If still no picture on the external screen your video card might be fried. If you do get a picture on the external with or without seeing dark images on the laptop, then it is a problem with either the LCD screen, it's inverter, or the screens flex cable. Check Dell support for your systems original parts list HERE. You will need your laptops Service Tag number, which is on a sticker on the bottom of your laptop.

Hope this helps, Good luck.

Hi, I use my DVX100b as a playback deck and output to a TV monitor as a cheap solution for a monitor when editing in FCP 6. I discovered this recently, and it has worked great to give me a better look at...
Do you have the proper driver installed on the new O/S ??
If the O/S doesnt know what the DVX100b is - it cannot communicate with it.

Thanks!!

Picture not clear when playing a recorded program from dvd
I had a similar problem with an Insignia converter box. This is confusing but . . . I was told by an Insignia person that you can only program the channel that you have on and cannot record a different channel. My output channel is 3. My roof antenna is attached to my converter box "From Antenna" jack. Attach the converter's "To TV (RF)" jack to your VCR's "Antenna Input" jack. Attach "Antenna Output" jack to TV "Antenna Input". You will see your programs on your output channel, but if your VCR is like mine, your VCR may not recognize anything but your output channel, no matter which station is actually showing on the TV. If I want to record a show on channel 7 while I'm gone, I have to make sure the converter station is on 7 and that I choose channel 3 as my channel to record. You cannot program shows to be taped on different stations unless you physically change it on the converter box. I put my VCR on "Record" and flipped the stations from one to the next from my converter remote control and I taped exactly what was on the screen from one station to the next. You cannot tape one thing and watch another. Clear as mud??? Hopefully, not.

Time code problem -- footage disappearing
Menu setting - the time code is simply resetting itself.  If you intend to edit your footage with NLE software this will be a problem, otherwise no issue.

I just got a ag-dvx100b pre owned and it came with a fire wire with nine pins to connect to the computer. I think the operations book calls for a firewire with six pins. Can both be used if you have that port on your compute? Thanks!
