HAVE CCD-TRV22 , WHAT VIDEO TAPE NUMBER DO I

Unfortunately there is no adapter. They are different formats. 8mm is becoming hard to find. You may want to convert them 8mm tapes to at least VHS because if that 8mm camera breaks for some reason you will have to pay around $20 a tape for a conversion.

hi, its a 8 mm cassete tape.
wheres you can buy in any camera store or wallmart .
hope that help...

regards Alan.

Put your camera on charge with it's charger you got with it, charge it for at least 2 hrs and the power will be enough to get tape out.

I would start by having the set cleaned. Heads are easily broken please do not do this your self. My minimum cleaning and diagnosic fee is just $40 Larry's Electronics 916-362-8708 [email protected]

Yes It Is Possible.
1. Cable options you can use S-video or RCA.
2. VHS payer that has a recording option. Make sure that it supports the Sony Handycam 8mm.
3. The procedure on how to transfer the 8mm to VHS is the same as how you view your video on the TV.
4. S-video or RCA should be connected on the Handycam and the other end is on the TV.

5. You can follow the instruction on page 27 (Sony Handycam CCD-TRV37)
6. You can also follow page 52 (Sony Handycam CCD-TRV37 )

Go to this Link for the user manual and the full instraction on how to connect the cables.

Hi,
CCD-TRV12 needs standard 8MM tape, it is not Hi-8 camcorder.
Thanks.

Did try disconnecting battery or AC adapter and wait a few minutes then install power and turn on .See if it will eject

problem could be as easy as cleaning the video head and tape path making sure it a dry. video drum may be binding.

CCD-TRV138 Attempted to record or play. Not operating.

Yes. First, try removing the camcorder battery, then turn on the switch on the front to either camera, or player modes.
let alone for 1 minute, then turn switch to OFF or the center position, install battery ( or the Sony supplied power converter) then let the camera try to open the door. DO NOT TRY TO FORCE THE DOOR OPEN. You will kill te camera's functions for all time. Then you can sell it on ebay for parts!

Second, get a set of miniture screwdrivers, get a place where you have much light, and a place to keep the miniture screws you will be removing from the case.

Remove all obvios black screws. The best place to start is from the battery area then the bottom, then sides and finally and CAREFULLY remove the nose cover for the camera lens. Work in a warm room, as plastic will have less chance of fracturing in such an environment.

Afer all screws are removed ( just the ones on the outside mind you, carefully work the nose piece off by gently pulling anti-clockwise, the view being looking down from above to the top of the camera. Ease... this nose cone off. the door then will be a cinch, as you gently pull from the bottom of the door and it snaps off from the bottom, then it unhooks from the inside top. Again, you must use extreme care. Good luck.
