Re: PD170 issue - horizontal grey stripes during playback?

Hmm..
1st I would still try drying the cassette compartment.
However, if the problem is occuring during recording only, it may not be a condesation problem as that error code would suggest.

Try manually cleaning the heads. At very least if you are unable do that, try running a head cleaning cassette even though that is not something i recommend doing too often.

If the problem persists you might have no choice but to send the camera to an authorized service center..
