Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1000 Flash Media Camcorder Questions & Answers
Settings not saved
It is by design. I guess Sanyo cut corners in some places and all of the Xacti cameras AFAIK have that problem, they DO NOT save custom settings. so you have to redo your settings every time to turn it on
Can't get started
Could it be that the SD card is not fast enough? I think that SD 40x or SDHC class 6 is needed from my experience (I am not sure what it says in the manual). What speed/class is the card you are using? I get these sort of problems intermittently on my HD2 (the predcessor to the HD1000) when I use a slower card.
Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1- doesn't do anything in record mode
As I have been writing on other HD1/2 problems, sometimes it can be the card which is an issue. If the card is too slow or perhaps corrupted then the device can find it difficult to record.
This and other soft faults (that are reperable by turning the power on and off, changing or reinserting the card, removing the battery) are often indicated by a flashing red recording light.
Problem with memory card
What model Sanyo camera? What type and size memory card? Just what problem are you encountering? Is there an error message?
Hi i have a sanyo hi 8 camcorder 25 plus years old and it loads and ejects and tape flashes continually whats the oroblem
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:
- Make sure the camcorder is clean and free of any debris or obstruction.
- Check the cassette for damage, such as broken or bent spindles, and make sure it is properly seated in the camcorder.
- Try using a different cassette to see if the problem persists.
- 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.
Sanyo VM-D66P error: CASSETTE
There is a pulley that breaks inside but as these have been obsolete for over 20 years, I doubt it is repairable any more.
