I bought a DCR-TRV250 BRAND NEW just over a year ago, I've never used the camera that much (less than 4 hours total recording time) and I'm having the same problem. I can play back previously recorded tapes with no problem but when I try to record there's just a black screen. I "reset" the camera as the manual says and have had no luck. I just thought i'd see if there were any similar problems, as it turns out it seems there are as many if not more of these units that are FAULTY as there were good. I'll never purchase another Sony device again. If anyone has any luck getting anything out of Sony or some way I can fight back please let me know.
