DSR-1800 Lost Lock

When playing either a MiniDV or DVCAM tape for about five minutes, servo lock is lost, the servo light goes off, and the green channel condition light goes off. Stopping play, ejecting the tape cassette, reinserting the tape cassette, and starting play does not solve the problem. However, if the DSR-1800 power is turned off for half a minute after the tape is ejected, then lock is restored when the tape is reinserted and play is started. After a few minutes lock is lost again. If the tape continues to play while lock is lost, eventually the error code 07-042 (Detected abnormal capstan speed) appears on the monitor.

DSR 1800 Video freezes on left side of screen and no sound.

left side image freeze indicates that the tape supply guide needs adjustment. best done by a technician with proper test equipment.

DSR 11 won't record DV tape to its end

You need to use longer tapes. The DER-11 is a DVCAM deck which when recording, uses a faster tape speed then mini DV. Think of your older VCR's. They had SP, two hours, and EP or SLP, which would be six hours. The SP speed would give a better picture. DVCAM is more like an SP recording except digital and a lot better. More information is laid down on the tape.

You'll have to jump up to the full size DVCAM tapes in order to record the full hour.

Sony DSR-1800

these errors mean the folowing:
02-291: failed to complete winding a tape.
02-275: detected T reel FG during threading.
02-696: Detected abnormal detectiion of S and T reel rotation during play and Rec.

The second and third faults indicate a fault with the board containing the driver for the reel motors. Unless you have the service manual i suggest you buy and replace the board.
It is the DR-428 board.
good luck

Sony DSR-1800 Lost Lock

check the condition of the pinch roller. a bad pinch roller can cause this problem - a tape plays for several minutes, then has problems. what happens is the tape slowly moves up or down on the roller instead of traveling in a straight path. this is caused by the roller becoming worn or glazed and not being able to provide traction to pull the tape through.
