Camcorder won't record or playback
I have the same problem
It seems it is a tape drive problem
I just wanted to say Lots of owners are having the same problem
more over the the 3V battery shows empty on power on while it is not empty
taking the tape out allows you to play with menu
and view the image
* you can also connect to the pc via Firewire connection
and record in the PC hard disk or even change the line input from the menu to AV in and use the Camera as a Analouge to DV Vedio converter
This goes to show that the Camera is woking fine , untill it is asked to move the tape
* The only way to stop the camera from turning off is
1) take out the tape
2) in play back , press play the pause (some poeple claim to have solved the problem that way - has not worked for me )
