Will this head cleaner help with audio issues? I am currently getting no audio playback from my camcorder.

It definitely helped our situation. Our camcorder playback was rough and uneven (after several years on no-use), both video and audio. It did take quite a few times running the cleaning tape--but eventually it made both the audio and video both function quite well.

The head cleaner will help a whole bunch. But you will need to use the head cleaner a number of times before it become affected for use.....

I wish I could help. Unfortunately, I never had much for problems with my mic. What type of program(s) are you using that's picking up the noise? And what's your operating system? I've used mine with things like Skype and Bandicam and it works fine (both on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1). I did notice I tried it with Steam before and it was picking up noise from my headphones, so not sure if that's related (but Steam seems to do this a bit with other people and their hardware as well).

I encountered the same problem after I had transferred about 15 tapes. I cleaned the recorder/playback heads and that seemed to help but still was not right...so, I had another recorder that was not as old as the one I had been using and it worked great. Try cleaning the recorder/play back heads.

I had the same problem and the video playback was choppy. I don't think this product works very well. I wish I had an answer for you.

This problem has no relationship with the quality of the headphones, comes from a problem with the codec audio video or a low amount of memory. This headphones has a very god sound response.

Just be glad you got one cable to work! I never got video or audio through the one I purchased. They just put out poor quality product!

Has anyone had any problems with audio/video being out of sync? This reviewer had problems with this on the 720 model: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3TPJCPHOD8OK8/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B004QOA92A

You need an 8mm / Hi8 / Digital8 Camcorder Video Head Cleaning cassette. Almost impossible to find in stores....I ordered mine on Amazon.

I bought it to clean the heads in my JVC unit. The picture was degrading. I ran it twice and it did the trick. You're supposed to run it for 10sec. Your mileage may vary depending on the condition of the camera you're trying to clean. I hope this

Hi Greg, since the Sony V825CLH Cassette Head Cleaner is not a product that you use regularly, this will defintely last for a long time not unless you break it physically. -Vincent

Yes we have this too...plus a ticking noise! My husband just noticed it, and was like what the heck? You can actually hear it on the video while playing back if we are recording in absolute silence. When he shuts off the auto focus the ticking noise stops. I would be interested in others with this camcorder to comment on the noise.....I mean is this a defect or something that is just the way the camcorder is?

There are about 3 different things that you can look for 1st make sure you still have power to the camera unit itself and that the wire is not come undone from the camera. The 2nd thing you would want to check is that the video feed cable is still okay and that it has not come undone and then 3rd, if you can reach the video connector you can take a regular camcorder and connect the video feed from your camcorder to your head unit and see if you get a picture if not, are you sure that it is switching to the video. If you happen to have used a bypass connector so that you could see the videos in the car while you were driving. It is possible that if that unit shorted it could blank out your head unit if it's none of those things and I'm assuming you've already disconnected and reconnected the unit at least once. Then I would say that you have a defective head unit, depending on how old the unit as it may be covered under warranty. I hope this helps a little bit at least. I really hope it fixes either way, I hope you have a good evening

Just to let you know you're not alone in wondering about an external mic input. I have two high-quality wireless microphones and a lot of experience using them. I won't consider a camcorder if it doesn't have an external audio input. I am disappointed that you haven't received a reply. Good Luck!

There is an hdmi mini out which I haven't used, so don't know if it would function the way you want but I'm thinking so. There is an external mic input as well as a headphone jack, though I tried a couple high end shotgun microphones only to get a horrible buzzing sound. The jack works just fine with a lapel mic I tested and a cheap external digital recorder I tried. When I called Sony to find out the tech specks on the jack, they told me it was proprietary info and left me with no help. The store I was working with have up as well helping me find a microphone that would work well with no buzzing. It's a nice camcorder if you can get a used one at a decent price, but for just a little more money there are some better choices. Best of luck on your purchase!

I have a slight noise on mine only when using the onboard microphone. Since I do not use this microphone, it is not an issue. I have hung a rode NTG 2 on the camera and recorded sound as close to the lens as the internal microphone. Not an issue. All Camcorders do this...... Manual operation will eliminate the noise as well. Good Luck!
