Hi,

In DCRTRV430 Camcorder, the C:31:42 error message is a Self diagnostic display. This message can be clearly identified by the help of a Sony Authorized service technician. Each of these codes indicates the symptoms and resolutions of the Camcorder. In C:31:42, the issue is with the tape and the tape mechanism.

I suggest that you remove and reinsert the tape to check if it helps. You may also try inserting new tapes in the Camcorder. Please remove the battery and/or power cable, connect, and perform operations from the beginning. You may also try resetting the Camcorder back to factory default after removing the tape.

To Reset the Camcorder, perform the steps below:

? Please open the LCD screen to locate the RESET button.

? To reset the Camcorder, press the RESET button using a sharp-pointed object.

? Please make sure that the Camcorder is turned on while pressing the reset button.


Also, try turning off the Camcorder and remove the battery pack. Then move the 'Power Switch' of the Camcorder to the ON position


for 1 minute. After about 1 minute, move the 'Power Switch' to the OFF position.

Now reinsert the battery, turn on the Camcorder and check whether it is working fine.


Thanks.

Error code 31.23 sony trv 340

Error code 31:23 indicates a fault in the tape transport system. This can be caused by several things including the transmission not engaging properly, a missing pinch roller, a defective clutch in the take-up or a faulty rotary mode switch and will require disassembly to repair. This can usually be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not really a user serviceable problem and should be looked at by a qualified technician. Below is a link to a repair shop that should be able to help you.

I can't watch back my recorded cassette, on my camcorder? i'm getting an error message C31 23

Sony is pretty secretive about the :23 code. It can't be found anywhere. However, to service the C:31 code, Sony recommends you do the following:

  1. Turn off the camcorder.
  2. Remove the battery or disconnect the AC power adapter for 60 seconds.
  3. Insert the battery or reconnect the AC adapter.
  4. Turn on the camcorder.
  5. If the error message appears, service may be required.
If your camcorder still shows the same error code, then you'll have to send in your camcorder for service.

Error :c3122

I assume this is a Sony camcorder since you did not provide brand or model information. The error you listed is a T reel fault, caused by the microprocessor not receiving pulses from the takeup reel on the mechanism. There are several things that can cause this:
a bad tape
a bent reel
a bad reel pulse sensor on the mechanism
some other mechanism fault not allowing the takeup reel to turn

Trv340 error code c:31:23

According to page 184 of the owner's manual, any error C:31:X or C:32:X you can fix by removing the cassette and re-inserting it again and/or disconnecting the power cord and removing the battery. After doing both of these steps, I'd also recommend using a paper clip and press the tiny reset button underneath the flip out display where all the other hidden buttons are for the camcorder.
