Sony Camcorder CCD-TR33 Problem- VCR buttons do not function. Neither does Record search or menu or really any of the buttons on the left side case. 'Record' button does not function in Camera mode either. ALL of these functions work using the LANC connector remote control. Therefore, mechanism is OK; syscon likely OK also. Suspect the button array, left side case, may be problem even tho the VCR buttons and "Record" button are separate form this array.. ]Power switch is part of this array and works fine. Removed the left side buttons and checked the flat cable- looks ok. Resoldered the connector. HELP Roger G.
