HomeHelp with my JVC gr-d870 video camera please! I have a question. My gr-d870 jvc camcorder will not play my tapes back! It acts like the tape is blank and just stays on the blue screen. You can feel the tape inside the camera playing, but it doesn't come up on the screen! I tried putting the tapes in someone else's camera and they worked perfectly. Do you know why they are doing that? I haven't used it in a little while, and I didn't drop it or anything like that. I'm very careful with it, but it's not working now. Help! Thank you!

If the tapes you recorded work OK in another machine then there is only one possible thing that you can try, that being to try cleaning the tape head, as if its heavily contaminated with flint like deposits that will give the effect you witness. I always recommend that in cases like you mention the only real effective way of cleaning the head is by using the "wet" method, as these dry cleaning cassettes not only put the head in danger of being damaged by over cleaning but they aren't always very effective either. However unfortunately because you have restricted your e-mail address it excludes sending the wet cleaning info on to you, as it contains a JPEG for illustration purposes which cannot be sent via this website. I should point out that if head cleaning doesnt cure the problem then its a dismantle job to determine the reason, with the first thing under suspicion being the mode switch. |
