    Hello,
    I have been experiencing odd audio problems with some of my captured footage. At times, the audio track will speed up – like Max Headroom (if i could call it this…!!). While reviewing the footage on the camera it was shot with (PD-170) there is no trace of a problem, and it seems to happen while digitizing – as it does not always happen at the same point on the tape. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this may be happening?
    Thanks!

    Is the camera plugged into the wall, or are you running it off of the battery?

    indeed, it is. And I have only used Sony tapes with this camera…

    it could be power surging, try using a higher end surge protector. I would have thought low battery power, but you being plugged into the wall…. I’d say bad wall power. Maybe your AC adapter is bad also.

    Thanks Eric. I have been reading other forums for more clues.Do you think that this audio stuttering can be attributed to dirty heads as well?

    Stuttery audio yes, audio phasing in and out of sync and speed probably not.
