Sony CCD-TRV48E won't playback after record

I've just bought a secondhand Sony CCD-TRV48E as a temporary replacement
for my old CCD-FX700E which now won't record.

I'm happy with the TRV48E but have a problem, after I have recorded
some video it won't let me rewind it in player mode to watch it as the
player controls seem inoperative. All that happens is that is goes into
play mode over the unused tape.

I guessed that maybe the player controls were broken but if I put the
tape back in my old camcorder, rewind it and then put it back in the
TRV48E the player controls work fine.

Is this a fault or "Feature?"

TIA for any advice.

What is the camera mentioned?Mini DV, digital 8 or something else?Don't you
wonder why its previous owner chose to sell it rather than continue using
it?

I'm not familiar with the TRV-48. However, if the problem is in the
control switches on the camcorder itself, and if it has FireWire
(IEEE-1394), perhaps you can control it successfully by connecting it
to your computer's FireWire port and using the controls in your capture
software.

Admittedly a last-ditch desperate effort, but if it works...

HTH,
Gino
