Hi all,
Received my Sony DSR-11 deck a week or so ago. Happy to report that all XL2 tapes are working so far. Thanks, Matthew. |

This thread is not new but I am having a very similar issue.
Tapes that were recorded with my GL-2 will not play right (same pixilation and audio drop-outs as others) in my Sony DSR-11. However, they WILL play just fine in my Sony DSR-40. The same tape stock recorded using Sony's DSR-500 will play fine in BOTH the DSR-11 and DSR-40, so I've ruled out the DSR-11 being the problem. Because the DSR-40 has no problems playing the GL-2 tapes, would it be possible to have the heads of the DSR-11 aligned to match the DSR-40 instead of having to mess with my GL-2? |

David,
If I understand you correctly, you may have two problems here... it may be that both the GL2 and DSR-11 heads are slightly misaligned, yet the DSR-40 is still within spec. I would start with the GL2. How many hours of usage do you have on it? You can request Canon to realign the heads for the DSR-11's specs. As my post earlier in this thread mentions, I did this with my XL2 and everything is fine. Unfortunately, it does cost money to have this done if the camera is out of warranty. Hope this helps. Kevin

Well, a typical charge for cleaning and alignment 'check' is $250. But it could be more.

You hit the nail on the head. This has happened in the past with the GL-1 and GL-2 series. Tape pitch and alignment.
