Having used a cleaning tape several times to no effect. I then went to record, to see if the bands appeared in recording mode. They didn't. So I went back to playback mode and the bands had disappeared.
I assume you are talking about playback on the built-in screen? If so, how do videos look once downloaded to your PC? If they are ok, contact Canon for repair or exchange.
This is a receiver issue and will need to be replaced as the internal hardrive has an issue that cannot be resolved onsite by a technician. Thanks for using Fix Ya.
No, this U-Matic VO-9800p ist a PAL Model, it only Records in SP and High Band Mode. If a SP Tape is inserted, it Records SPMode, otherwise High Band. Low Band Mode is only for Playback ! (Low Band Playback is of very poor Quality, do not use this for Digital DVD Captureing )
Can you play back ok ? ( i.e. no distortion in playback mode ) if you can but have no image in capture mode then your camera's CCD sensor is faulty and must be replaced. If camera is not more then 2 years old, you should try to have it done free of charge since the sensor should last 10 years +.
Thank You Guest, this this solution is helpful, I clean the head with alcohol and the problem is solved.
And thanks for FixYa for the technical support.
Wide bands in the playback video indicate a clogged or defective video head assembly. If your cleaning tape appears to resolve the problem, the heads are getting contaminated. I would not use the same tape in this unit. Try cleaning the heads and then use a brand new tape to avoid clogging the drum assy again.
If this does not resolve the problem, the drum assembly will have to be replaced.
Hope this helps.
