26 13:38:12 PST 2005 Sony is pretty secretive about the :23 code. It can't be found anywhere. However, to service the C:31 code, Sony recommends you do the following:Turn off the camcorder.Remove the battery or disconnect the AC power adapter for 60 seconds.Insert the

battery or reconnect the AC adapter.Turn on the camcorder.If the error message appears, service may be required.If your camcorder still shows the same error code, then you'll have to send in your camcorder for service. Chieh Cheng Wed Jan 26 17:35:05 PST 2005 I had this error message on my TRV16e. It only happened on one tape (mostly) and there was no way this tape would play. Played Ok in another machine though. I get paranoid now every time I put a tape in waiting for the beep beep hdd error in sony handycam noise. Pete Sun, 19 Jun 2005 15:13:40 -0700 I don't know what the heck it is but is seems to come up when I don't use it for a while then I try to go immedeatly to the VCR function. Then I can't use it at all. I have never had the code when I pick it up and go directly to record mode??? I dunno. I also have the trc250 Ryan Wed, 10 Aug 2005 12:40:06 -0700 This may seem silly, but it worked for me. I found this on another discussion forum. Try smacking the side of the camera relatively hard with the palm of your hand. Eject the tape and reinsert. You may need to do this a couple of times. Surprisingly it worked for me.. Debbie Sat, 13 Aug 2005 11:38:25 -0700 I just turned the camcorder on its side and hit rewind. It seemed to go away.Maybe the gears are getting worn. BTW I have a Sony TRV 510Good Luck Jeff Sun, 14 Aug 2005 23:23:29 -0700 had this problem for couple of days. i tried cleaning it but still nothing would get this error out, but i tried what Debbie said to do "smacking the side of the camera relatively hard with the palm of your hand" and it worked. thanx Debbie Frank Fri, 19 Aug 2005 10:02:46 -0700 I have the same Camcoder DCR-trv250 also. The same error message was given to me and I tried the whole owners manual "fix" which didn't work. It is good to know I am not the only one that has a faulty

Published on Apr 30, 2012(I owe all credit for this fix to the person who calls themself 'TJR' over on pechorin.com)Hitting things always makes them better, some of the most of the nearly every time.I had some problems trying to get my rather old Sony Camera (TRV-480E) working again, it kept throwing up an arror message, the dreaded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zI7peVMco0 C:31:23, or "Re-Insert Cassette"I looked online for hours to find a simple solution and stumbling through a Sony Forum, one user suggested giving the camera a smack in the tape-deck when the tape begins to spool up upon a re-insert...

recently, I Googled this code to find that others have ran into this same pesky problem with other Sony video devices. I always thought the problem was tape brand related as the code would rear its ugly head during playback and mostly during rewind jobs http://www.ff-squad.com/sony/ on either Sony brand or Panasonic brand mini-dv tapes. My assumptions were close, but not close enough! Isn't the internet great??? I came across this forum: http://www.camerahacker.com/Forums/DisplayComments.php?file=Video%20Camera/Sony/Error_Code_C.31.xx Which upon reading, found a DIY fix from an Iranian fella by the name of Ahmed Jasim. He explains that a 'white lock pin' is the culprit allowing the black rubber roller to become out of place which in turn makes the Sony device throw error code C:31:23. I've read about the 'bitch smacking' you can sony handycam do to Sony devices throwing this code. I didn't feel like bitch slapping my tape deck for various reasons. Hence my reasons to go with Ahmeds method. Btw, this damn code prevented me from selling this Sony tape deck to a potential Craigslist customer tonight! This angered me and pushed me to try and fix the deck and to create this web page! So here we are. I figured I'd help out Ahmed Jasim by creating this how-to page with detailed pictures explaining his error sony handycam procedure in getting passed this hellish error code and getting on with your personal video project! For starters, you're doing this fix AT YOUR OWN RISK. Be very careful when performing the tasks below and to not damage or lose any of the small parts inside your camera!!! For the record, I do not know how different Sony video camera internals are vs. my Sony tape deck (hopefully very simliar). I hope you can use this article in the same fashion with your Sony video camera ;) First off, here's a picture of my Sony mini-DV tape deck -- with error code being flashed, mind you! I EFFING HATE THIS CODE! I carefully remove the tape deck's tape cover: Now I've gained better access to the internals through the top (mini-DV tape is still in the deck): With the tape ejected, you can better see what I'm trying to access : Another angle. This is the "White Lock Pin" Ahmed speaks of and black rubber roller; source of the C:31:23 problem. What happens is this white lock pin becomes unseated by moving upwards somehow and allows the black rubber roller to raise upwards which in turn causes the tape to be read funny (or something to this nature) causing the code. I was rather amazed at how easily both White Lock Pin and black rubber roller can be removed with a pair of need nose pliers. Makes you wonder how the the hell does the white pin stay i
