I have a Chinon VC-1500 VHS-C Camcorder which ff's, rewinds ok. All other functions work, but if I try to play or record the tape goes for a few seconds, stops and then rewinds and the error EMG: CYL comes up. The motors appear to be okay and are all turning okay. Could this be just dirt or a sensor fault or something?
Unfortunately I have the same problem, and there seems to be no advice on the internet for help. A friend originally bought it for £1 at a car boot, with just the camera, battery, tape, and the power lead. Not a manual in sight.
