- Dear netters:
-
- I gave my camcorder sony TR-7 (uses 8 mm tape) to my friend for recording in an
- imp. party (foolish me - I am convinced). He continued recording even after
- seeing error indication mark(which meant head clogged - needs head cleaning -
- as I found out later from manual). When recorded tape is played back it shows
- same effect as if from messed up tuning or horizontal scrolling, but if I keep
- on pressing reverse button while playing, I can see fairly good picture for
- some fraction of time.
-
- Has any one experienced this before? Found any solution to retrieve messed up
- recording? Any advice from expert? Can pressing reverse button while playing
- recorded tape in camcorder can damage camcorder mechanism?
-
- Thanks in advance. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
