GR-D72 Mini DV Digital Camcorder makes clicking sound when tape running

My GR-D72 Mini DV Digital Camcorder has just started making a "clicking" or "ticking" sound as the tape is running (playback or recording).  This sound is picked up during recording and comes out quite loudly when playing back a new recording.  Previously recorded material still plays fine with no clicking noise on the audio track.  I've tried different tapes but the problem remains the same.  Please help?

The clicking is from the capstain turning the tape -- and perhaps the metal cage holding the tape.. if it is bent then the movement of the capstain may be pushing it in an eccentric fashion.

send it in for repair.

No playback on JVC GR-D72

It souunds like the problem is in the Vid-PC connection. I suggest you start by downloading the latest version of whatever software you have used to capture and view.

Also - uninstall any hardware in the PC that is used to capture (just remove from system device list) and then restart the PC and let it detect and re-install.

If you don't know how to do these steps, then you'll need geek help.

Usually when the recording is started it takes around 10 to 15 seconds for the camera to recognise and display the duration of remaining tape, if you feel there is a problem, try using different brand tape.

Split screen and blurred vertical lines in view finder and LCD

Elakkis, I am sorry you are having a problem with your JVC camcorder. Your camera more than likely has a defective CCD imager which is being replaced by JVC factory service at no charge because of a problem with the Sony CCD chip being used. Call JVC and arrange to send the camera to them. Hope this helps you! Joe Weibel Custom Electronics (customelectronics.org)

Lost the software

Connect with Firewire, run WINDV to capture (for free.)
