Sony camera recorder DCR-TRV285E HARD WARE PROBLEM

Take it to the repair service. I am really suspect who's still use a reinsert cassette so today,Refer to old Sony DCR-TRV285E Accessory ,and I didn't know a Sony DCR-TRV285E Digital-8 Digital Camcorder model ,please say clear and correct !

No problem the camera is telling you to use tape head cleaner before trying to record more movies that all.

Check the tab on rear of cas has not gone over the hole, that will make this happen ok?

It is telling you it does not see a proper type tape in the camera, is the cleaner tape a digital 8 cleaner or normal 8? as though they look the same the case is slightly dif at the rear.

I want to downloud software of my sony camera DCR-TRV285E

You can download Picture Motion Browser software update for Vista by clicking Sony Support or click Sony Support DCR-TRV285E for more downloads.

Turn the unit off and hit the back of the camera twice near the battery compartment with the palm of your hand. Sounds crazy but it worked with my camcorder Sony DCR-TRV480. Problem started when I used 8MM Head Cleaner. I think the roller got stuck inside camcorder. The trouble code came up C:31:22. Hope this helps.

You should goto the www.sony.com and to their suport and download and download the support driver their.

since your, i search the driver of your model but i can not understand the languages, maybe u can understand, i have the website and click the country your location and then search the model of your camera. i assure you that you can find the software in the website. http://www.sony-europe.com/staticcontent/hub/hubpage_odw_en_EU_support.html?referer=http%3A%2F%2Fesupport.sony.com%2FUS%2Fperl%2Fmodel-find.pl%3Fmdl%3DDCR-TRV285E


may this help! thanks, melnavz

Hi lskumar!I have also got SONY DCR-TRV285E and it gives the same problem as yours. It took me long 3 months to get around the problem. I surfed a lot and found that many people are facing the same problem with sony cameras.

Now the fix is - When your camera gives "Reinsert the cassette" message", take a pen / pencil like object and push the reset switch on the camera. Its just below the volume +- buttons. The camera would restart. See if this solves your problem. If it doesn't then switch off the camera and apply Indian style of repair - Give 1-2 slaps on the cassette side but don't hit too hard. Then switch on and reset again. Repeat 2-3 times if necessary.

This is weird but it works for me. I got this solution from some forum on internet. Hope it works for you too!!! Remember, this is only a temporary solution. The problem keeps on arising every now and then. The SONY ppl don't have any cure for this. They don't know why it happens.

One more thing. Buy a good head cleaning cassette. This would give new life to your camera-head.

Have a nice day! Do tell me if it works..
