More vx1000 audio weirdness...Any Gurus?

Hello Everyone,
I had not used my VX1000 for a few months. Last night I recorded on it for about an hour. When playing it back from the camera the image was perfect, no drop-outs but the audio was choppy intermittently and occasionally sounded warbled at the same time the image is problem free.
-
First. Now to try and isolate the problem. The button battery was died so I replaced it. The camera values returned on the back window but it had no effect on the audio…I didn’t expect it to but…
-
Second. I used a shotgun mike to bypass the camera mike. No improvement.
-
Third. I plugged a headset into the camera to monitor the sound. The audio pass-through was perfect.
-
Fourth. Now I’m thinking heads. I used sony’s mini dv head cleaning tape. No improvement.
-
Fifth. I played the tape on a panasonic dv2000 deck. Same playback problem.
-
Finally I was going to record a short clip of the audio and post it for you guys to hear AND HERE'S THE WEIRDNESS. The audio captured perfectly. WHAT?
-
So…the panasonic is connected via firewire to the pc and the clip is captured into premiere. As I am capturing the clip I’m hearing the horrible audio. I play the clip back on the timeline and the audio is flawless.
I know its almost Holloween but other than gremlins anyone have any ideas?
-
FYI I used several new tapes. Fast forwarded and rewound them before recording. I have never used anything but sony tapes. The camera was in for cleaning about a year and a half ago. The camera has always been handled with kit gloves.

Thanks,
