Explanation/Solution
Check that the power plug is connected to a wall outlet.
Have you pressed the VCR STANDBY/ON button?
A video cassette can only be inserted with the window
side up and the safety tab facing you.
Check the VCR aerial connections.
Is the VCR tuner properly set?
Check if the safety tab is intact on the cassette.
Was the VCR STANDBY/ON button pressed to activate the
timer?
Re-check the recording start/stop time settings.
If there was a power failure or interruption during timer
recording, the recording will have been cancelled.
Check to see if you are using a prerecorded tape.
Check the TUNER/EXTERNAL setting. It should be on
TUNER.
Check the TV/VCR aerial connections.
Press the PROG/TRK (" or ❷) buttons to minimize this
effect.
A still picture may have "noise bars", depending on the
condition of the tape. Press the PROG/TRK (" or ❷)
buttons during SLOW motion to minimize this effect.
If poor pictures appear on a variety of cassettes, the video
heads may need cleaning. This is not a common problem
and unless it appears, the heads should not be cleaned.
When cleaning the video heads, read all instructions
provided with the head cleaning cassette. Incorrect head
cleaning can permanently damage the video heads.
