MiniDV Camcorder Trouble

Oct 22, 2007 2 Replies

Video plays back with choppy, jerky motion with picture "shearing". Repair service diagnosed dirty heads but they were cleaned and problem persists -- even when recording and playing back brand new tape. Possible causes?



Who cleaned the heads and did you pay for a faulty diagnosis? Possible causes? Many. Voice coil, servo, tape tension/path problems, faulty head(s) to name a few.

Google is your friend dumbass.
