Hi, I just found the question you posted in 2004 about error code 20 on your betacam pvw 2800. Did you ever find out what the problem was? My machine has just rejected my bigger tapes and given me Error code 21 and error code 20. I'd appreciate if you have the answer. Cheers

Error Code 20 on the PVW-2800 = "Cassette Motor Timeout" It just happened to my machine , as well. And, I need to know what the repair or service involves. Jay
