Default horizontal distortion...

Hello,

I recently "acquired" a Sony DCR-TEV120 video camera.
The camera works fine except that there is a constant horizontal distortion
(consisting of blurred "bars") across the image.
Is this called "banding"?
Anyway, before I bring the camera to a pro to check out, I would like to
know if anyone here has any tips on how I could solve this myself?

E.

Are the bands present on "live" images, or only on recorded material?

Do the bars appear in either of the viewfinders?

Is the colour OK?

They only appear when I playback a recording, even after I export/transfer
the recording.
The bars appears on the LCD screen when playing back a recording, haven't
checked the other viewfinder.
Colour is OK...
