Hi guys,

I have a canon camcorder which i use to playback some mini dv cassettes which have been developing a problem lately. Whenever I playback a cassette, the playback shows with grey lines.

I have tried the below:

• recording for a few seconds and then playing the cassette again
• cleaning the camera with a cleaning tape
• doing fast forward and rewind several times
• shaking the camera
• tried also cleaning the head with a cotton bud and spirit

Please anyone can suggest how can I make it work? If need be I can dismantle wherever needed but I need guidance. The camera model no is: Canon MV200

Please help.

Regards,
Matthew
