georgeyoung's Full Review: Sony Handycam CCD-TRV68 Hi-8 Analog Camcorder
After about 4 recorded tapes, the unit died.
In the record mode, the unit's LCD and viewfinder became blank, but it can record audio. Apparently - this CCD issue occurs pretty frequently.

In the play back mode, the LCD and viewfinder works fine.

I contacted Sony Support, and customer relations for a service recall, but they insisted that it was a 'normal wear and tear' issue. Sony is not standing behind their product. This is a pretty expensive audio tape recorder and player, if you ask me.

For a complaint - file a report with Sony:
