I desperately need your help fixing a Sony Digital 8 tape. Something jammed, and the tape didn't continue on it's normal path, so I got an error code on the camera. I was able to eject the tape, and re-roll the extra tape back into the cassette. Now, it won't play. I get a Sony Error Code of C:31:23, and I tried the different things on the online forums. Nothing worked.
I have reason to believe that the problem is with the tape itself, and not my camera since other tapes work fine. Now, I just need help fixing the tape. I believe that something on the tape itself has to be reset or re-spooled. I just don't know how to do it.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated. I will be seeing if Cal's Camera in Costa Mesa can fix it on Wednesday.
