Repair prices will vary from shop to shop and are usually most expensive when done by the factory. However, there are a few repair facilities that can repair your camera for you at a greatly reduced rate.


My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.

Error code c 31 22 and it says to install a cleaning head tape (I guess it's dirty) on a handycam trv-138
Hi,
Actually this problem is related to the loading of tape path which get misaligned, most of the times improper insertion of cassette caused this problem and secondly dust/dirt in the gears of mechanical could be the cause. In this situation cleaning and mechanical adjustment is required, and mechanical adjustment bit difficult and only expert can perform this, therefore i advise for an expert to sort this problem.
Hope you will understand my sayings.

Video recording shuts down after 15 seconds
I just looked at my Sony DCR-TRV30. Not the same, but perhaps similar. My camera records lengthy videos on tape and only brief videos on memory stick. I suggest that you stick to tape for video.
Good Luck

Mode for playback of older 8mm tapes using Sony DCR-TRV730 ?
In 1990s Sony camcorder records movie in analog format so playing in digital camcorder like DCR-TRV730 doesn't mean it will be converted in digital format and you can not import file in PC for editing purpose. You will get analog signal while playing back old cassettes.

Regarding SP, LP speed, its decided at time of recording. Camera sens SP or LP automatically in playback and set itself accordingly.

If you want to convert old cassettes into digital format, connect our camcorder to DVD recorder and burn DVD which is digital format, copy DVD files in to PC and do desired editing.
