hi,
your camera's head is either damaged or may be dirt on the scanning chip of the head, try to clean it with a head cleaner tape, if the head is effected with clog, try to clean it several times. then test it with a prerecorded cassette. if there is no any progress, it means the head is faulty, it must replace with a new one.
sir,
the video head problem, try to clean it with head cleaner cassette. play the cleaner cassette several times, test, if still problem must change the video head.
Try removing the battery and charging it. Then put the battery back on the camera. This will reset the cassette system. The cassette should open or close depending upon what status it is in. Once you get the camera to eject fully, clean your heads with a dry head cleaner cassette for Hi8 video. If your camera is still eating tape, could be a broken pin or damaged heads.
-make sure that your tape is clean and dry -clean the tape head inside the tape deck if you have a video head tape cleaner *tape head: the one that reads the tape inside the camcorder.its the metal thing at the bottom inside the tape deck. -or you can use a soft and dry Q-tip to clean it(dont use any liquid cleaners) *or if confused where the tape head is....just clean all metal parts inside the tape deck and make sure you do it lightly with a soft dry Q-tip.
It is telling you it does not see a proper type tape in the camera, is the cleaner tape a digital 8 cleaner or normal 8? as though they look the same the case is slightly dif at the rear.
comon sony issue. Proble is low torque tension on the head and on clean of the video head. Sony's don't have alot of tension on their take up reel though. I can increase this for about $100 on most models. www.megaone.com/larry
Reinsert cassette message comes when mechanism doesnt load cassette properly. If this error message comes again n again, means mechanism has some problem and unable to do task.
if all the indicators i.e. battery condition, play mark, counter, etc are visible on the screen then it can be a simple problem of dirty video head. try using a head cleaning cassette or do the head cleaning manually, Open the cover by removing three screws on the right hand side next to the viewfinder. Slide it little towards front and pick it up. The video head will be visible.
