same problem with no playback and blue screen.  I think it has to do with the VTR thinking that the digital8 tape I inserted is Hi8.  Once I fixed this by removing batteries for 10 minutes, but then it reverted back and the battery fix doesn't work.  I also tried going to menu to make sure the PB Mode was set to auto, but this didn't work either. same problem with no playback and blue screen.  I think it has to do with the VTR thinking that the digital8 tape I inserted is Hi8.  Once I fixed this by removing batteries for 10 minutes, but then it reverted back and the battery fix doesn't work.  I also tried going to menu to make sure the PB Mode was set to auto, but this didn't work either.

I have the same problem with no playback and a blue screen, etc. When I was recording before this happened, I got a message to use a head cleaner. I got it to work long enough to record by taking the tape out and putting it back in. It played for awhile but now I have the blue screen. I used the cleaner with no luck. Any suggestions?
