Sony DCR-TRV103 "Cleaning Cassette" message and poor audio/video

I have a 6 year old Sony DCR-TRV103 camdcorder. It worked fine without any problem until few months ago. It has now deveoped a problem. When you press the record button, it displays "CLEANING CASSETTE" . When you try couple of times , it goes away but then the video and audio quality sucks. I tried cleaning usig the cleaning catridge but no luck.

Has anyone see this? Any help?

Thanks
Deva

I have the same problem too with my TRV103. Hope someone would shed some light on this problem and tell us how to fix it. Thanks.

Im afraid your heads are on the way out and fixing them will cost more than finding one used.
I have the same problem so the camera is used (lens in better than newer cameras) and recorded onto another medium with output cables. record on vcr hard drive or another handycam.

I too amongst other problems have the "CLEANING CASSETTE" message more often than not.It will go away after a few tries. I also have a playback problem. Most times I try to use playback, the image is all choppy & stutters. If I record a sec or two of new footage,the rest will playback properly. So I have started to shoot a few seconds of black between scenes. Mine is a TRV-330.

I also get this moisture/condensation error where the unit pings and displays a Cxx.xx error. I usually have to wait it out. Haven't tried the wacking fix yet. I generally have this condensation issue after flying to France. The camera was in my backpack as carry on. This has happened 3 times. Hardly ever have this problem at home. I have cleaned it often. When it works,it works fine.Too bad Sony doesn't seem to acknowledge these re-occurring problems.
