Erasing the tape on a sony handycam vision please

Hello,

This unit does not have erase. You can use a microcassette tape eraser which you slide the tape thru.

As with most tape recorders, there is no separate "erase" function. You just tape over it. If there is a write protect tab you will have to make sure that it is write enabled.

on this model sony it does not have an erase feature. I have called sony and confirmed this. The feature that would do that is called flying erase heads. So your option would be to either record over the tape or buy a player than can erase but a eraser is 300$usd-400$usd which really isnt cost effective just to erase a tape.
If you need further assistance please feel free to follow up with a comment and i will be here to assist you. If this assisted you please feel free to rate the solution. thanks and have a great day.

Hold down the 'Erase' button and press the 'Rewind' button. It will erase the tapes as it rewinds.

Look at the rear end of the tape cass and if the red tag is over the hole this prevents movies being erased, just push tag over to expose the hole and your tape will (should) be okay and work again.
Be aware that if you pressed this tag over to stop recording, are you sure nothing is on tape you want to keep?

Don't think you can erase it, just record over it.
If you really have to erase something you don't want on it, you can always rewind and then put on the lense cap and record.

There use to be a degausing magnet made for just that. It is shaped like an iron and it is an ac electro magnet that turned on and off just to make tyhe magnetic poles swap and this Magnetic flux that can not be seen would jumble up the magnetic tape info by arbitray misaligning them on a molecular structured level. In turn messing up the information like scribbling on a writen document...

i have thi problem to it is the x700 sony one :/
let me know if you have sorted the problem and tell me the soluvtion as i haven't yet :/
thankyou

Yeah, a strong magnatic field can erase whole tape at once. You can try it by using Deggausing Coil at TV repair shops, though i have not tried it yet.

reel sensor is the problem of your camera... sometimes it is a poor connection of the sensor to the socket at the main board..clean the contact of the wiring using a pencil eraser and also check the pitch roller of the mechanical if it is install cause it might be loose at it post cause of the lock has been broken already...
