Title: Stoped working, Doesn't record at all, To fix it, Sony wants $269.00
Review: I purchased like this model last year DCR-HC40 on 6-11-2004. It stoped working on 06-22-05.The record button is matfunctioning, So it is not able to record.Also it discharges the fully charged battery, as soon you hit the record button.So when you press record button, it swithes the mode to memory card(like on/off switch does) & discharges battery to 3 min. If you keep on external power, than it keep on swicting between tape/memory card on record button press.Beware!!! What you paying for.I have purchased for $599.00, The sony wants $269.00 to fix this problem. Beware what you getting into. Here is there support no 800-282-2848, if you want to confirm this.I
