Playback on my DCR-TRV240 has a jittery picture. This is the first problem I have had with the camera. I have not been using it much so it can't be worn out.

This is most likely caused by a damaged or misaligned video drum and can usually be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.


My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

I have the same jittery picture on playback on a Sony DCR-TRV460. I see you've stated that the drum could be misaligned/damaged. I've used the cleaning head with no success. I need to keep this device...

Yes sometimes when realigning the drum will not work. if the tapes were recorded with the drum out of alignment all tapes would have been recorded out of alignment. Delt with that situation where my player wouldnt play a customers tapes because his drum was out of alignment from factory. I had to use his camera to play all the tapes that were recorded on his camera.

Jittery video and sound, and now no playback

You may have damaged the heads if your cleaner tape was old and dryed out and had grit on it, buy a new camera head cleaning tape for a start, never rewind it as lots of folk do, if you do that all you do is put the old dirt back on the head.

Cannot pass through to Premiere 6.5 from VCR via a firewire

if you are based in America definitely you will not be able to use that European standard camera, they are not compatible standards. Playback and passing the USA standard video through that camera is not possible. ( some will give black and white, jittery video output). I assume you already know the difference between European and American video standards. [:0)
