Video Head Cleaning
If when tuning in your TV to the VCR test
pattern your TV does not find the test pattern
or the pattern when found suffers from
interference, it may be due to the VCR output
channel clashing with the normal TV
transmissions in your area. To prevent this
you will need to change the VCR output
channel in the following way
If you are unable to solve the problem after reading the above instructions, note:
The model and serial number on the rear of your VCR
The warranty information
A clear description of the problem
Then contact your nearest SAMSUNG after-sales service.
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 (œ 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 (œ or ❷) buttons
buttons during SLOW motion to minimize this effect.
