I own a sony dcr-trv20 and these are the problems. When I open the cassette compartment, it opens, and without a tape, it closes just fine, but when I put the tape in and push the top down, it won't pull the tape inside, and won't open a top of a cassete compartment, and gives me an error code (C:31:30). Then, I have to unplug and plug the power cord back in to open a top of compartment. At this point it gives me another error code (C:32:30 appears on the screen), but opens the top. At the same time the screen goes black, then white, then black again, but You still can see the flashing eject icon on it, and hear fast beeps. In manual, these errors are idetified as the ones that can be easily fixed by simply unpluging and plugging back in the power cord. I thought that Sony's Customer Support would certainly help me with this problem over the phone, but they were unable to. Without a tape, the cassette compartment works fine. Top opens, and after I push the top down (without a tape), it pulls inside without any problem. It just won't work with a tape in it, and the screen goes crazy when a tape is locked inside.
