Default Re: Sony C9 Distorted Picture and Sound - Help needed

Hello and welcome.
It looks like the tape isn't running at the right speed so the servos can't lock. The most likely cause of this is drag on the tape path. You've cleaned the heads, but you need to look at the lower drum and all the parts of the path, including the pinch roller, to make sure they are scrupulously clean. Has it been unused for a while? If so it may well need waking up slowly. Also check your tapes are in good condition.
Good luck!
