I have a Sony DCR HC36 camcorder that up until today was working perfectly. I've been through all the nightmares of attempting to download videos to my computer but this is different. My device will not play the tape. The tape runs on play I can hear it running inside when I press play. There is NO sign of ANY Sony error code at all. The camera was not dropped or knocked it just stopped playing. It fast forwards and rewinds perfectly ok, and the play on the memory stick works perfectly. I have tried a collection of tapes and none of them will play whereas they all played yesterday. There is no other fault with the camera whatsoever. Help !!!
