Problems with playback of HI8 tapes...

I recently purchased this Canon UCS2 HI8 camcorder on Ebay to transfer
my old HI8 tapes to dvd. These tapes were originally recorded on a
Sony HI8 camcorder which was stolen.
When I play these tapes in my new (actually used but in working
condition) camcorder the video is distorted or shredded looking,almost
looking like it is playing at faster speed, like a fast scan. Also the
audio is distorted and warped sounding. This happens with numerous
tapes of various age and brands.
When I record a tape on this camcorder the playback is fine at first.
When I take that tape out and reinsert it the payback is distorted as
well.
Is it possible that tapes recorded on one HI8 machine will not
playback on another? I did try cleaning the heads with a Sony HI8
cleaning cassette.
No better. Should I take this machine to be repaired, perhaps have the
tape heads realigned?
Thanks for any help.
