Tapeless with sony hvr-mrc1k and XHA1S ?
Hi All,
I have a Sony hvr-mrc1k and XHA1S. Is it possible to use the record button on the camera to trigger the XHA1S without a tape inserted? I'm obviously maybe missing a setting, but if I hit record without a tape, it does nothing. The deck is non operational, so I can't test it WITH a tape lol :-D Thanks!@ |

Thanks, I did find the manual. For some reason it wasn't working, but now it is, which is awesome.
I'm on firmware 01 on the Sony - any idea where to find firmware 02? I can find instructions on upgrading the MRC1K to firmware 2 but can't find the firmware :( |

Me, I’d have to find out why it is suddenly working, because it’s just as likely to suddenly not.
V2 is 11yrs old and been superceded by V3, follow the comments here - be careful … Cheers.

Re: Tapeless with sony hvr-mrc1k and XHA1S ?
Ha seems so. Assuming you bought your XH-A1s for a good price because its tape transport doesn’t work, I’d look at getting a quote to repair it. It might not cost much and some time way in the future when you’re selling it - because it now all works you could realise a good profit.
And if you haven’t got one, I’d get a 72mm UV filter asap to protect your camera lens. When things settle down you could install some free custom presets, Chris has organised here … https://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-x...d-library.html I’ve installed 5 in both my A1 and A1s, they are excellent value. Cheers.
