Broken rewind? We have to constantly play with the cord to get it to retract, any ideas?

Hummmm. I never had the rewind issue though I'm always concerned with any "great" feature going bad. You could try pulling the 24ft cord all the way out then see if it re-catches on the retract feature. Could be that a spring mechanism un-sprung (if thats how it works). I believe the rewind assembly portion can be detached, then either repaired or replaced (replaceable part I think). OR It could be the rewind lever function (I mean the press-down lever itself). There IS a 1 year limited warrenty though I have'nt read the details and returning it might prove a hassle. Good luck!

I did not have any issues with this, perhaps it's the extension cord? Best of luck!

I have used my remote to rewind and play the tapes. The touch screen got to where I could not use for any functions but could rewind & play the tape I had in there. That is all I have really used the remote for. Love the camera though.

I have used mine only 10 times and har had it for a few months but the cord rewind works like a champ. Best stay out of the way of it or you might get whipped.

low- my cord is retractable, you must fully extend the cord each time, then step on a tab to retract it.

When we downloaded our videos and tried to view them with windows media player, we had the same issue. Try using Quicktime. We did, and our videos have played without the jerking! Hope that solves your issue.

You will have to pull at the cord wrap area (the plastic piece along the cord, the egg shaped thing) one side retracts and one side pulls it out farther. Good luck.

Hey there, no the cord does not retract. I am not super happy with this set. Mine came in the mail pre opened and dusty and the small curlers are really small, I can only use the larger ones.

The cord does retract. We have not used that feature so I'm not sure how much of the cord is left out. I tried retracting ours to find out but it doesn't work.

Totally agree!! A frined of mine gave me his becasue the pull cord is broken. I tinkered with it and figured out that it's total junk!!

It has a button operated rewind that works very well. Just have to press it with your foot.

Mine does not retract, but instead has hooks on the back to wind the cord around for storage.

The only remedy I could recommend would be to get a new plug end & splice it onto the current cord. Of course, once you put electrical tape on it, the plug won't "roll" all the way back in.

I had similar issues myself. I just messed with the cord a whole and it started back working. This was a waste of my money.

I encountered the same problem after I had transferred about 15 tapes. I cleaned the recorder/playback heads and that seemed to help but still was not right...so, I had another recorder that was not as old as the one I had been using and it worked great. Try cleaning the recorder/play back heads.

Try cleaning and oiling/lubricate it. Also, being electric, see if your cord is still good.Otherwise, time to get a new one. Sorry!!
