Sony DCR-TRV250E cam corder,. when recording, will record sound but no picture. Will play back old tapes with picture and sound, but no pic when recording
Dear elfox33
Your camcorder has dirty/clogged video head problem. Please use Video Head Cleaning Cassette Video-8 type to clean it. Hope problem will be solved.
Dear Elfox33,
Please let me know that can you see live picture in viewfinder in camera mode? If yes, then video head cleaning procedure will be ok. If no, camera has defective CCD Imager problem and this part will be replaced. In this case, please contact nearest Sony service shop.
Well, I have no idea about Sony repair policy in USA because I am not living in USA. In my region, it doesn't cost much, approx $15.00

same thing...wont show any picture when recording or playback but records sounds. thats it..also plays other tapes with picture and sound
Thanks for the response... will definetly try that. Have been thinking that perhaps it is something to do with the lense not opening?? Since it is only the picture that wont record. Is this a possibility? Does anyone know if that is common?
No, when it is in camera mode, no image comes through - either while it is recording or when it is playing back a new recording. It will only show an image when playing back an old recording from before the fault occured. Any ideas if it is expensive to replace a defective CCD Imager?
I am trying to play old vacation tapes and the picture and sound is distorted
