Panasonic AG DVC30. ALMOST new..only
This being a new set and if under warranty you MUST not attempt to openor tamper so as to VOID the warranty.
Now the obserrvation of the fault seems to be linked to a problem in the main processing board.
the static noise indicates that the servo or the luminance.
The fault requires that you will need a proper signal trace, use of an oscilloscope for video signal and a use of a proper service manual and Jig for looking into the board when it is disembled.
hence my request for such a fault seems that it be checked with the service center, take estimate and decide.
Sometimes a fault connection, and inter board connector, loose grounding or a improper shield, or dry soldering in the linking cords/ boards can be the reason but will require a close look with a magnification glass.

My Panasonic DVC30 camcorder eats tapes on record
Tape mechanism problems can be quite complicated. This will require disassembling the camera to repair the tape mechanism and can be done fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

Problem with DV output on ag-dvc30
It is possible that you have a faulty firewire port or cable that is sending electricity through one of the pins that is not designed to handle it. If one of the six pins at one end of a cable is bent, for example, it can electrocute whatever is at the other end.
It's been a while now - did you ever get this problem solved?

Won't record to tape
Sounds like the tape isn't getting contact with the video head. It could just need an adjustment.

Auto lock not threaded
sounds like the threading mechanism isn't able to completely thread the tape. there may be something obstructing the travel of one of the threading arms that pulls the tape around the head.

Only one channel when using my xlr adapter in AG-DVC30
XLR cables only carry one channel. There is an option in your camera to split into two channels - enable it, or split into two channels in post. To record left and right from the DVX using XLR cables, you'll need one for left, and one for right.
Good luck.

Converting vhs tapes to computer using camcorder
I think it's possible if you change a setting on your camcorder. Turn your camera on to VCR and then hit the menu button. Look at 4. AV In/Out Setup and make sure your DV Out is set to ON. I think this will make it work. If not, try changing your playback functions. I think the problem either lies with the fact that the camera is using its RCA connections as outputs instead of inputs, or it's not sending the signal on to the VCR.
Hope this works for you -
