After plenty of use, the rubber pinch roller in my TRV27 escaped in a big way. To its credit, it did not mangle the tape, but it did behave similarly to this one. I read somewhere that Sony had a problem with failing image sensors in some early 2000s camcorders, and that they were repairing them for a while. I've got a TRV19 with that problem, but if I leave it on for a while, the image sensor kind of "dribbles" back into working order. That DVD/VHS machine was a major score.

Those HandyCams are known for dirty contacts on the CCD lens board assembly and motherboard. Spray some contact cleaner (deoxit or lubricant recommended since they're plastic safe, unlike the other contact cleaner that has isopropyl alcohol, which isn't plastic safe) in both the CCD lens board and motherboard, let it sit for a good 4-6 minutes (10 minutes recommended), insert the cable that connects in between the two, and viola. I did that on my DCR-TRV260 that has the replacement lens board (should've kept the old one) installed, and it works once again. I kept the original lens since the replacement one had bad focus when zoomed out.

Nope - they would literally just die. Maybe it wasn't cooling, just poor internal wiring - but either way, after a certain time they would no longer output an image. Replacing the lens/CCD module with a known working one fixed the issue, and it was a fairly straightforward swap.

Wow, that is the nicest VHS/DVD combo machine I've ever seen. And that TRV315 is a great camcorder - I hear no tape mechanism background noise! Try pointing that MiniDV camcorder at the sun and see if anything shows up in the viewfinder. That'll determine if it's a stuck aperture or a failure somewhere in the camera circuitry. The late Neil had a camcorder doing the same thing, and I discovered you could dimly see a bright light in the viewfinder. He was able to fix it by manually manipulating the aperture to unstick it.

The slider on the battery was a visible indicator so you knew if the battery was full or empty, while being in the field. My old JVC GR-AX280 VHC-C Camcorder batteries had that too. The battery of my Canon HV20 had a contacts protection cap that had a hole in it and you had to turn it in a way so if attached to the battery you would either see a bit of a colorful sticker on the battery or just grey of the plastic. Grey would mean full and the colorful sticker peeking through the hole would mean "empty - needs recharge".

Interesting finds. Except the Sony VCR/DVD combo recorder was from 2009, but this got to be one of the last models that Sony made until the VHS format died a slow death. VCR's discontinued from companies from 2009 through 2016 since Funai, the company nobody cares has finally done with VCR's. The reasons why is that no one has buying VCR's anymore, because people moved on to DVD's and Blu-Ray's instead of VHS. People got rid of them or donated them to thrift stores or selling them online which was kinda cheap like Amazon, eBay, Etsy or whether online store to find. And also, 2009 was the year that this combo was manufactured, and it was after all movie studios has completely done with the VHS format with their pre-recorded tapes. The last one I believe was from around 2006 through 2007, and other brands are still making blank VHS tapes until the end of its VHS run from around 2012 through 2016. That happened when the same company made the Betamax format and the Betamax VCR's since they discontinued in the 1990's, and the tape itself ended in 2015. Sony started the Betamax format in 1975, and JVC started the VHS format a year later in 1976, and RCA was the first company that introduced the VHS VCR in 1977 as the "Selectavision", but the name was later common for CED video disc players, a failed format from 1981 where they put out movies on CED until 1986.

Hi, A simple way to check to see if your remote is working to point the remote control at an AM radio (turned on). The remote should be within an inch or so of the radio. If the remote is working, you'll hear some interference every time you push one of the remote control buttons. If you don't hear any interference, move the remote control around a bit. Sometimes you need to turn the staton frequency off a little bit so the tuner is between stations. Regards, Tom

Hehe, nice kitty. That DVD/VCR combo seems surprisingly good; I've never seen one with such acceptable quality before. Too bad the remote didn't work... and it's annoying how so many electronics now absolutely need the remote in order to do certain things... how about a flap on the front that hides additional buttons, if they wanted to give the front a more simplistic look? It's worse when you try to use a universal remote and it still doesn't do everything you need it to do. I found a DVD recorder at the thrift store, and it too has that problem where it won't record "copy-protected" video... even broadcast TV; a huge percentage of TV shows can't be recorded... that alone makes DVD recorders entirely useless. Even DVR won't record some shows. I'd rather stick with my VCR, that way I can record anything and everything.

This was in the days before DVD recorders were available, and using templates from the KVCD website for use in TMPGEnc to create your own VCDs was popular with enthusiasts.

I got one of these DVD/VHS recorders for $35 plus shipping on ebay. I also got the right remote. Not cheap, but not a Chinese clone either. You really can't do anything with this, like finalize a disk, without the remote. This is one of those Sony units that only works with the remote it shipped with. It's a rock solid VHS machine despite the fact that it may have been manufactured for Sony by Funai, we'll see. Funai is where all good formats go to die. I'm trying to get VHS into the computer, and this is the best way I've found. Copy to DVD, finalize, and rip the output to Handbrake. Done. I have an EZ-Cap and an Elgato Game Capture HD. The EZ-Cap works well, but I don't like all of the hoop jumping that must be done in VirtualDub and Handbrake to get it right. The Elgato is too sensitive to glitches in the tape output. A tracking error can knock the whole thing out of whack for several seconds. I wish it had settings for just straight capturing. I have all of the cables including composite, I just wish it would work the way I want. I have some Windows training tapes that I copied on the Sony and posted to my channel. They turned out pretty good. Great video as usual, thanks.
