TROUBLESHOOTING Before requesting service for a problem, use this chart and see if you can repair the trouble yourself. Small problems are often easily corrected, and this can save you the trouble of sending your VCR off for repair. POWER SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION 1. The power won’t come on. ● The power cord is disconnected. Connect the power cord. 2. The clock works, but the VCR’s power won’t come on. ● The TIMER mode is engaged with Auto Timer set to "OFF" ( Z pg. 41).
RECORDING SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION 1. Recording won’t start. ● There’s no cassette loaded. ● The loaded cassette has had its record safety tab removed. Insert a cassette. Remove the cassette and cover the hole with adhesive tape, or load a cassette on which the record safety tab is intact. 2. TV broadcasts won’t record properly. ● The VCR has been set to its AUX mode by mistake. Set the VCR to the appropriate channel. 3. Tape-to-tape editing won’t work.
TROUBLESHOOTING (cont.) 8. Timer recording begins as scheduled, but the channel is always incorrect. ● Even though you don't use an external Cable Box, "CABLE BOX OUTPUT" is set to "ON". Set "CABLE BOX OUTPUT" to "OFF" (Z pg. 16). 9. We moved, and now VCR Plus+ doesn’t work properly. ● The receivable stations in the new area are received on different channels than those in the previous area. Re-perform the VCR Plus+ setup procedure (Z pg. 19). 10.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS PLAYBACK RECORDING Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached during playback or search? A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning. Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end of the recording before the pause is overlapped by the new recording. Why does this happen? A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and resume points. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Q.
