    hi guys…
    we are trying to record some footage from a dvd player onto a mini-dv tape in our dsr-11
    (we do this alot)

    the problem today…
    everytime i push play and record
    the red caution light flashes and the machine stops the tape

    i tried cleaning it
    it plays correctly

    just won’t record…

    any answers ?

    I don’t have this deck, but I would guess either the tape record enable slider is in the protected position, or you have a moisture condensation warning.

    You can get a PDF of the manual here if you don’t have one:

    Sounds like copy protection. Keep it legal!

    no all that was kosher…

    after a bit of research…
    it appears that it was a humidity thing….
    according to sony…that can happen with the dsr

    they said to keep the door open and let it run for an hour…

    That is if you DSR-11 still has its door. If your’s does… you are in the minority.
