Sanyo Video Cameras - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals
Hi i have a sanyo hi 8 camcorder 25 plus years old and it loads and ejects and tape flashes continually whats the oroblem
It sounds like your Sanyo camcorder may be experiencing a problem with the loading or ejecting mechanism. This could be caused by a number of issues, including a damaged or broken cassette mechanism, a malfunctioning loading or ejecting motor, or a problem with the camcorder's control board.
To troubleshoot the issue, you could try the following:
- Make sure the camcorder is clean and free of any debris or obstruction.
- Check the cassette for damage, such as broken or bent spindles, and make sure it is properly seated in the camcorder.
- Try using a different cassette to see if the problem persists.
- If the problem persists, you may need to have the camcorder repaired by a professional.
Keep in mind that due to the age of your camcorder, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a new one rather than repair the old one. However, if the camcorder has sentimental value or is no longer in production, repair may be the best option.
Sanyo VM-D66P error: CASSETTE
There is a pulley that breaks inside but as these have been obsolete for over 20 years, I doubt it is repairable any more.

SANYO VIDIO CAMERA SHOWS "DEW" DAMP INDICATOR
Seldom have I seen these go on that it was a "false alarm" - usually there is some kind of dampness inside. Try setting the camera in a MILDLY warm place, opening up any doors/port covers it has. As for a sample of a mildly warm spot, I have used my cable box to dry things out before. It runs around 100 degrees F, not hot enough to damage anything. Note, of course: Never put anything dripping wet on something like that. And make sure you don't cover more than a small percentage of any vent holes on the item supplying the gentle warmth.
The main thing is be PATIENT. Don't expect the problem to be solved in 5 minutes. Put it there in a gently warm spot and check on it in the morning. Once thoroughly dried out, it should stay that way with reasonable care.
