Remedy
• Check that a tape isn't already in the tape
compartment.
• Make sure you are pointing the remote commander at
the remote sensor on the VCR.
• Replace all the batteries in the remote commander with
new ones if they are weak.
• If you are not using S-Link™, make sure that both
miniplugs are unconnected.
• The command mode of the remote commander is
different from the one of the VCR.
• Make sure the CABLE BOX CONTROL option is set to
OFF.
• The recording condition of the tape is very poor and
tracking cannot be adjusted.
• Set your TV's code number. The code number resets to
1 when you replace the batteries of the remote
commander.
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a dry, soft
cloth, or a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine.
