Flashing lights The little lights labeled Camera and Play/Edit on the top right hand side of my Sony Handycam DCR-HC20 Mini DV flashes and depleting my battery. It flashes even when I plug in the AC adapter. Now when I plug in a battery with the AC adapter to charge the battery, the battery charge indicator light will not come on and the Camera/Play/Edit lights continue to flash on and off. Help!!!???? Thanks, Craig

HI! I'm sure you can find solutions of your problems in this service manual SONY DCR HC16E DCR HC18E DCR HC20 DCR HC20E service manual repair...

Unfortunately, the original software is not available for download. However, you can use i.LINK interface and use the Windows Movie Maker available in the Windows to transfer videos from the Camcorder.

Error code 61:00 indicates a problem in the focus mechanism. The most likely cause for this is a lens out of place or impaired in some way. This will require disassembling camera to remove the lens block and then disassembling the lens block to repair. This can be done fairly inexpensively. However, it's not really a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

Hello Gary, sadly lots get the LCD screen go wobbly on the camera types you have, Sony did do a recall on the problem, did you register yours? if so you could have mislaid it.
I had to send my Sony for repair as it went same as you camera has.
Cheers,
David

There is no problem on your camera, DCR-HC19E is PAL system(European system) DCR-HC20 is NTSC(American system). Are you in US or Europe? I think your TV is NTSC, cause the tape recorded on DCR-HC19E you played has no color. To confirm, connect your HC20 to TV in camera mode, not recording yet, just look at the TV as your monitor, If its in color, no problem, just erase the old video recorded on the HC19E, but if its important to you, you can convert it to NTSC using a PC. thanks
