The picture is not clear.

• Existing broadcasts may interfere with the VCR.  Reset 

the RF channel output of your VCR (page 16).

• Adjust the tracking with the TR/– buttons.
• The video heads are dirty (see the last page of 

Troubleshooting).  Clean the video heads using a Sony 
video head cleaning cassette.  If a Sony cleaning cassette 
is not available in your area, have the heads cleaned at 
your nearest Sony service facility (a standard service 
charge will be required).  Do not use a commercially 
available liquid type cleaning cassette other than Sony’s, 
as it may damage the video heads.

• The video heads may have to be replaced.  Consult your 

local Sony service facility for more information.

The picture has no colour.

• The “Colour System” option in the “USER SET” menu is 

set to the wrong position.  Set the option to conform to the 
system that the tape was recorded in.

The picture rolls vertically during 
picture search.

• Adjust the vertical hold control on the TV or monitor.

The picture has no sound.

• The tape is defective.
• If you made A/V connections, check the audio cord 

connection.

The sound from a tape recorded with 
the VCR is not in stereo or the 
STEREO indicator in the display 
window is flashing.

• Adjust the tracking.
• The video heads are dirty.  Clean the video heads using a 

Sony video head cleaning cassette as explained above.

No TV programme appears on the 
TV screen.

• Make sure the TV is set to the video channel.  If you are 

using a monitor, set it to video input.

• Existing broadcasts may interfere with the VCR.  Reset 

the RF channel output of your VCR (page 16).

• Select the correct source with the INPUT SELECT 

button.  Select a programme position when recording TV 
programmes; select a line input when recording from 
other equipment.

TV reception is poor.

• Make sure the aerial cable is connected securely.
• Adjust the TV aerial.
• Make sure the TV system is correctly set for your TV.
• Make sure “TV System (B/G or D/K)” in the “INSTALL” 

menu is set to the same system in your local area.

The tape starts playing as soon as it is
