Panasonic pv-gs12 How do I use this cam corder? I know how to record, but how do I check what I recorded? Is that called playing it back?Barbara

Could be because LP record mode was used.
Alo it may be tape dropouts.
Dropouts occur after too many record/erase cycles.

Hello Cyn - What you're looking for is called an AC adapter.


The particular one you need is a Panasonic PV-DAC11A. You can find it online (try Amazon.com) for about $60.00 and you might be able to find a used one on Ebay for less.

Good Luck Shopping and Thanks for using Fix Ya

press rec button again,sometimes certain cameras have built in or auto mechanism that keeps the user from leaving camera record on.

This is not a problem with the tape but the camera. The only way to fix it seems to be to find an empty spot on the tape or a spot you don’t care if you record over. Then record for a second then go to video mode and you can play the tape without the blue lines. Or buy something else to play the tapes which should be fine either way. Darn camera !

I have the same problem with my PV-GS14. You have to find the last spot you recorded in, pause it, then switch to record, and just record something for a couple of seconds. Switch back to playback, and it should be fine. Neonlaundry, I read your other posts, and it seems we both have the same problems. If you find a solution, please post it. Thnks.
