I cleaned the heads. Then after recording about 5 tapes, the striping happened. And yes, I’ve used it in a windy environment when I was shooting in a container yard beside a sea.

Thanks joe. That’s very informative. About the problem happening suddenly, yes it did. The first time it happened, I just ignored it because after pressing the start button, the next footages were ok. After a few weeks, it happened again. Yesterday, I shot the XL1 and the problem did not occur. What worries me is that it might happen during an event coverage. I am thinking of replacing the whole recorder unit. What do you think?
