 Digital8 horizontal banding & sound dropping out on playback My trusty Sony TRV730e Digital8 camcorder has just started to play up. The picture is divided by several thick black horizontal bands and the sound drops in/out continuously. I've run a head-cleaning tape through but this has had no effect. The problem occurs on both the just-recorded and older tapes. What could be the reason please? Is an economic repair likely to be possible? I have a large collection of recordings which I have always intended to transfer to DvD/DivX before upgrading the cam' to a DvD recording model but I really need a faster PC to do this. If repair is not appropriate then should I buy another Digital8 cam? Is there another way of transferring? Are Digital8 cams available for hire? -- dave @ stejonda Beyond the farmyard the wind in the trees.   |

If this has no effect, I fear a repair may be uneconomic. |
