Hitachi vm-h825la Hi8 Camcorder Horizontal Lines

[Tarack]

Hi. I have a Hitachi Hi8 camcorder that has a fault (I think?)
It shows some very faint horizontal lines in the picture.

The problem isn't with the digitalization or with interlacing, because the same problem can be seen when I connect the camcorder to a television (CRT, LCD, whatever...)
However, the picture is fine on the camera LCD/EVF.

I've also tried it with 2-3 different cables, so I know the problem isn't with the connectors/cables.
And also, if I put the camera in CAMERA mode, the picture is fine on the television.

The fault:

Dodgy tape?

Dodgy tape?

I don't think so.

If I make a brand new recording onto another or the same tape with this camcorder, the picture will still look like this. (But only on external display, TV, etc.., not on the camera's built-in LCD/EVF).

This is really strange..

Lookup Hanover bars. It can be fixed in post I believe by delaying chroma lines, Jagabo is the right person to help you on this, Some reported that de-interlacing took care of it.

I thought that these 'Hanover Bars' can only occur on PAL systems, but this is NTSC.

You have not mentioned that you have NTSC tapes so it was just a good guess from my part since I know nothing about the tapes you have, how they've been recorded or where they are originated from other than they are Hi8 tapes.
