Camcorder is display 3 large grey line horizontal

Try a head cleaning tape that the manufacturer approves. Sounds like dirty heads. Digital-8 cameras are reasonably older models and it may require a professional service.

DCR-TRV33 Free Repair by koertd - 3/9/08 3:45 PM In reply to: Sony DCR-TVR22 – tape stuck by willibo Thanks to all. Ready to trash my DCR-TVR33, but found the 800-222-1669 number. While holding, I found online support at: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/news-item.pl?news_id=161&mdl=DCRTRV33
(I guess several trips to Hawaii and Fuji didn't help the humidity/temperature issues!)

The friendly Sony representative had me reset the camera and then offered to have the problem fixed for free, including shipping.

What do u think Mr. Welcomejee have i diagnosed it correctly or not ?

You need NP-FM30 Rechargeable Battery and Video-8 Tape for this camcorder as shown in below image..

Its symptoms of dirty / clogged video head. Please use Sony video head cleaning tape to clean video head.

I also got the same problem. i think the tape is dirty or spoil and you better save the video into your CD or DVD or else it will be gone forever.
