Hey guys

I have a Panasonic PVDV201, which i bought about 4 years or so ago. It was the floor model, and so it came open box. I have had a problem with it for as long as i can remember. I have lines across the screen during playback, which muffle the video and screw up the sound. I have tried a DV cleaner tape, and also multiple brands of tapes.

I am either looking for a solution or if you guys have any suggestions of places to go to get it worked on/fixed in the Charlotte, NC (28223) area or the Western PA area (16055) north of Pittsburgh.

If you guys could offer me any sort of direction or help, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!

i was also curious if there was any way to get video onto my computer besides firewire??

Thanks
-Mike
