Sony DCR-TRV 330 Code C31:23

I have the exact same problem. The manual and Sony's e-support say that it needs power reset. hey recommend disconnecting the power (battery or AC adapter) for 60 second and restart.

Well, guess what? It didn't work at all. I suppose only remaining option is repair. But Sony's repair is expensive, I mean very expensive. You could get a new 8mm digital camcorder for that kind of price.

Does any one have any bright ideas who to get rid of code C31:23? The camcorder appears to be fine in all other respects.

Well, it seems I have the exact same problem you have with your machine. I have tried to leave the camcorder out, just to make sure no moisture has interrupted the inner workings. Separated the battery....nothing has worked.

What is the cost of repair?

Anyone else with this issue?
