Check the following points once again if you are having some difficulties with your VCR.
IMPORTANT
Periodic maintenance is required in order to maintain the VCR’s continuous excellent performance. After a period of time
the video heads will require replacement. If cleaning or replacement of the video heads is required, this service should be
performed at an authorized video system service center.
Correction
• Make sure the AC power cord is correctly connected to
an AC outlet.
• Make sure the VCR is turned on.
Correction

and the TV.

is not removed. (

made. (

• Timer recording may not be performed or stopped if a
power interruption occurs before or during timer record-
ing. If the power resumes within ten minutes, timer
recording will also resume.
• Select your video channel correctly. (
✈
P.14)
• Adjust the tracking slowly in either direction. (

P.23)
• Adjust the vertical hold control manually on the TV, if
available.
• Because the VCR playback signal is not as stable as an
off-the-air TV signal, the top of your TV screen may be
bent or unstable during playback. To solve this problem,
slowly turn the horizontal hold control on your TV to
correct the wavy picture. If your TV does not have the
horizontal hold control or adjusting the control does not
help, contact your local TV service center.
Correction
• Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on
the VCR.
• Avoid all obstacles which may interfere with the signal
path.
• Inspect or replace the batteries. (
