20 Most Recent Sanyo Xacti C6 Camcorder Questions & Answers

check battery or connect to the mains and remember power buttons are fragile and unfortunately this is the button we use quiet often or failure take it in for check up

Had the same problem. It nearly drove me mad, however, the fix seems quite simple. The screen in playback mode seemed to be fine but if I swithed to record or photo mode I just got a black screen. I could see some pixel movement so I figured the screen was okay and that the iris was the problem.

Anyway, to fix it I simply gave a few sharp taps on the camera body near the lens. This unstuck the iris and I was greeted with a clear image in the LCD viewfinder. The camera now works fine.

By the way, this seems to be a fairly common problem with a lot of the different models and not just limited to this one.

Hope this helps.

I'm from USA and we have 1 year warranty for these products. The problem you are encountering is on the main circuit board. This model has one board controlling most of the functions and our techs were not successful repairing it. Because of compact design and machine mounted parts it is recomended for replacement. Sanyo should replace it under manufacturer's warranty if it has been only few months. Sorry we couldn't give you better news. good luck -James

What model Sanyo camera? What type and size memory card? Just what problem are you encountering? Is there an error message?

Just let it dry in room temperature for a day. Then try switching on. If it still doesn't work take it to a store.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. Question moved from Televisions category. When was the last time the head was cleaned? It may also need servicing or Adjustment.

It sounds like your Sanyo camcorder may be experiencing a problem with the loading or ejecting mechanism. This could be caused by a number of issues, including a damaged or broken cassette mechanism, a malfunctioning loading or ejecting motor, or a problem with the camcorder's control board. To troubleshoot the issue, you could try the following:

1. Make sure the camcorder is clean and free of any debris or obstruction.
2. Check the cassette for damage, such as broken or bent spindles, and make sure it is properly seated in the camcorder.
3. Try using a different cassette to see if the problem persists.
4. If the problem persists, you may need to have the camcorder repaired by a professional.

Keep in mind that due to the age of your camcorder, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a new one rather than repair the old one. However, if the camcorder has sentimental value or is no longer in production, repair may be the best option.

There is a pulley that breaks inside but as these have been obsolete for over 20 years, I doubt it is repairable any more. Fully working VM-D66p for £30 on amazon or fleabay.

You need the RF Adapter cables. I have seen items like that at thrift stores. The camera has that barrel connector with 6? pins to connect it to the converter box that output to Channel 3-4. Keep checking ebay or craigslist. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/894346/Sanyo-Vm-D66p.html?page=2#manual https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sanyo-VM-D6P-8mm-Video-Camera-Bundle/163512488835?hash=item26121a9383:g:pLYAAOSwUMBb8MfJ:rk:1:pf:0

Battery probably needs replacing.

The organic electrolytic capacitors leak and cause issues

knock power off then hold the eject button in as you switch power back on. This works for discs not sure about videos but its worth a try.

Contact the Sanyo site, check to see if there is a firmware upgrade for your product. If there is, download it, then follow the update instructions.
