Sony DCR-TRV310 Digital camcorder

Dec 8, 2013 9:11PM PST

I have several Video8 tapes recorded on an old camcorder which won't playback on the above camcorder. Hi8 tapes play OK. Can I adjust something on the camcorder or is just not possible to play them.
Can video8 tapes be transferred to Hi8 tapes

On the second question.

I would never do that because of "generational loss" but instead get them into digital form.

As to the first question, my answer is no. So far you have to find the camcorder it was recorded on.
