Hi Stacy, A call for help from Holland. I own a (fantastic)Sony DCR-TRV8E Pal camcorder. This model is more than 5 years old by now. In former years on a very rare basis I encountered the C:31:22 error code just a few times. I could erradicate the problem by inserting (any)other DV-tape and then the intitial tape once again. By now, however, the same code appears with almost every tape I insert in the camera. (No matter what brand of tape I use.) Solving the problem is not as easy as it used to be before: It sometimes takes ten to fifteen times of changing tapes, cutting the power etc. in order to, maybe, get the camera back into an operating modus. Help! I don't want to part from this wonderful camera, but I wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on an "old" machine like this either . . . Anxiously awaiting your answer; Wim jacobs Castricum, the Netherlands.
