I got a Canon ZR500 in September of 2006. I have one DV tape that was completely full with recorded content, and when i tried to play it, the time thing that tells how much time is in the clip that you are watching (ex: 9:27) changed to --:-- when i rewound the tape. I put in a blank, new tape, recorded a 10 second clip, went to play it back and the time thing changed from 00:15 to --:--. I asked someone about it and they said after playing and recording the tapes in the camera, static can get into the playheads and can erase the tape, that sounds possible because the only thing that could erase tapes are magnets. Is this true?!?! How do I Fix it?!!!
