Double check the tapes you are using. IF you are not using JVC or even Panasonic it is "Possible" the tape could be the issue. To determine for sure, reset the camcorder via the info below and try a new JVC or Panasonic tape. If this does not work after step by step resetting, then it would have to be evaluated.
RESET:
* Remove tape from camcorder and close up the cabinet.
* Power down the camcorder and remove the power source (battery or DC cord)
* Replace the power source and power camcorder back up.
* Use a NEW JVC or Panasonic tape.
Once you have reset the camcorder, see if the new tape will function normally. IF it does...the prior tape or tapes may have been faulty.
FYI: When storing the camcorder away for extended periods of time, remove the tape and the battery and store them seperately in the camcorder bag.
