I can't fing my manuals either. I have the same one. I think you put the originalin one side and the blank in the other. Rewind both to starting point. Press play and pause on original. Press the red record button on the copy tape. Then press pause and press the high speed dub button. If nothing happens hit the pause button on each side. Just trying to remember. May not be right.
the issue is probably related to the format the tape was recorded in. a z1u records in hi def (hdv) the dsr 45 is standard def ntsc. not compatable, play the tape in a z1 to recover
It's a 4-channel recorder. That's four recorded channels in the same direction. You COULD use it like a standard 2-channel stereo recorder with bi-directional playback if you recorded only the front tracks. THAT would produce a 1/4-track stereo tape with two sides (directions).
In the photo, the front and back are clearly marked.
I'm not sure what the solution is, but I am having the same probelms, and I would appreciate any help with this since I am shooting a childrens camp and I am fairly isolated and don't have the time to swop cameras or send it to get fixed. I need to know if the recording is fine (video and audio) but the playback is not working correctly...or is it not recording correctly or playing back correctly. The sound cuts out from time to time in playback. Thank you.
My advice is that you should by a cleaning cassette. Put this in the camera and run it for 10 to 20 seconds only. running the cleaning cassette for a long time may damage the head. good luck! Luwangula
Look i first hit reset for a second and it work for a second. Then it went back to the same problem. I turned the camcorder back on and i held the reset but while it was on. I held the reset button for like a minute, then every thing worked we recorded, the tape ejected fine, we watched what we had recorded and kept on testing it and everything still works give this a shot.
