That's totally understandable and in hidnsight I wish I hadnt used the Maxells. I was anxious to try the camera out and the store closest to me only carried the Maxell. In your opinion, do you think I have caused a problem by using the Maxell, or will a simple switch to JVC tape correct this? Sorry for the 20 question routine but I am stuck at work and none of the stores close here carried anything but Maxell tapes. So, I am stuck here to 'ponder' this all afternoon. I'm assuming the Maxell tape has too much 'drag' and the camcorder sensing this, goes in to safe guard mode to prevent damage. Thanks for your help by the way.
