RightyO, the power down/power up doesn't work for this error code. You have to slap the bottom (tape) side of the camcorder, then the thing is back to normal. I think Sony stuff is crap. I had a much older Sony 8mm camcorder that was a terrible piece of junk, and now this newer one, with ALMOST NO USE, is doing this potentially fatal malfunction. I recommend buying CANON camcorders, as they don't have malfunctions, they just keep working for years, without any problems. I only bought this TRV-20 piece of crap, because it was a giveaway at a flea market. Well, I'll avoid this brand from now on.
