Have you tried a head cleaner tape? I would run that through and see if that helps at all.
Thank you,

Hi,
I am not sure what your meaning is to your reply. It wouldn't matter if it happened in both screens. Like I said clean the heads and that might solve your problem.
Thank you,

The issue you have described indicates a problem with the LCD display. Since it works ok sometimes I think that the display connector is loose. Next time when the lines appear tap on the camcorder and see if it affects the image and post back with your observations.

I do not think display related issues can be solved by using head cleaner tape. Like a said, it has got to be related to the connectors. I think the display itself is ok coz you get image sometimes. I am sorry this is not probably you were expecting, but I just gave you a direct answer(to clean the head bla bla bla etc.,) without beating around the bush.
Regards,

Sorry. I did not understand what you meant by "same problem visible through view piece"
What is view piece?

Hi,
All symptoms show that camcorder video head is dirty/ clogged and need cleaning.
Put video head cleaning tape in camcorder and clean its video head as per head cleaning tape instructions.
Hope this info will help you.
Thanks.
Sorry I should have mentioned that I bought a mini DV head cleaner tape
and tried it three times for 10 seconds as per the instructions. This
did not help unfortunately.

OK, that means video head become weak and need to be replaced.
Canon service center will be replaced as they have required parts but charge would around new camcorder price.
Thanks.

My Canon ZR400 has issues in playback. Sometimes it works normally, most of the time I see a gray "filmstrip" like bar and then moving image on the side. Sometimes various images freeze while I can see the main footage still playing in part of the screen. Sometimes it is a combination of the bar and frozen images. I just used a cleaning tape (3 times) and this did not help.

Then why would the same problem be visible through the display through the view piece?
