I have a sony V1U that is giving me problems. Every time I turn it on it says to "reinsert tape" with a code of C:31:23.

I have done some research and it looks like it needs to be sent in. I know sony will fix it but I am guessing they will charge and arm and a leg??

Anyone have any recommendations? I found a place online called Videoone repair. Anyone ever use them?

Thank for any recommendations!
