This can be caused by several problems including the transmission gear in the tape mechanism not engaging properly or a defective clutch in the take-up spool and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it’s not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

Sounds like a software conflict, or possibly a conflict with the CD and Windows, not sure. However, you can still get your videos into the computer. Finalize the mini-dvd, and then you can put it into your computer's dvd drive, and copy it over to a folder on the computer. As for the stills that are taken on a SD card, you can insert the card into a card reader and get them to the computer that way. It sounds like you may have a bad usb cord, and you should be able to find one at a used computer repair shop, or Best Buy.
Try to find the folder that the CD installed to, and you may be able to manually open the program, getting it to work.
Good luck, thanks for using FixYa, and hope this helps.

Start by trying a different casette and make sure the switch is in play back position. The switches are so tiny it can be ard o tell which mode is active.

You can upload through a firewire or if you have RCA jack inputs it can be done. I have the manual for this model.

Yes use a firewire

Try this one http://www.latestdriversupdate.com/driver/77678.html Hope that helps

Sounds as though the imager may have failed but make sure you are in video postion instead of memory mode. Little switch behind the lcd screen. Larry's Electronics

mostly this is the result of defective or dirty video head. simply clean the video head by using head cleaning cassette. If it solves the problem, well, but if the problem remains contact the vendor.

You mix te info with Write protected tapes.
Safe guard mode is caused by the motor that takes the tape out of it's case, through the mechanics and past the video head.
If for some reason the electronics detect that it's been done by too much force, the safe guard issue promts.

Forget the battery, the mini dv carrage assy can get out of sync and initiate the safe mode, if you noticed a problem loading the tape or have heard a gear skip sound thats the problem. The best you can do with those camcorders is keep the tape in the camcorder!!!!! That will prevent the problem and insure many good years of recording.

Sorry,

Tim.

Could be the battery needs replacement. Zoom not working? I am afraid it needs replacement for zoom unit is vulnerable to moisture by the user's hand alone plus the surroundings where users shoot videos and the stress by heavy handed user. Hope this helps

Let me know the error message. Go down further on the error message check for numeric code. If you see ''02". I'm sorry you need a qualified personnel to do the job. if it shows "03" keep the cassette door open(5 sec or more and make sure to put power on it) and wait until it open.If it ejected, try with another tape, it could be your tape causes problem. Good luck

What happen when you charge your battery? is it getting full easily, and once attached with your camera will work for few minutes only? If so, change your battery. Hope this helps

Yes you can, connect a condenser mic that has 3.5mm stereo. Hope it helps

Playback no picture? Try to clean the head by inserting cleaning cassette. During camera mode, i don't know if you see anything in your monitor. What you see is what you can record on tape so may be your problem starts from here, please elaborate more.

Please let me know more about the message, go down further below if there is a numeric code like "03" or "02" etc. Because If it is because of condensation tape can be ejected. Please wait message also appear when you inserted a high capacity SD Card and you are switching from REC to Play and every time you switch cam on, the bigger capacity the longer you will wait, i suggest remove it when not needed. Please give as more details if none of the mention above solves your problem.

Okay, then set the date and time first.

This is like a requirement for you to be able to start recording.

For more information, it is still best to consult the manual.

Here is an available one for you to download. Goodluck!
