Go-Video 4-Head Hi-Fi, VHS-VHS manual Why can’t I get a Menu or an On-Screen Display?

Page 72

“Why can’t I get a Menu or an On-Screen Display?”

If the VCR is playing an unrecorded or blank tape, the VCR cannot produce on-screen data to be dis- played. Stopping the tape, or recording on it, will allow the on-screen display to resume.

See the ‘No Menu is Visible’ troubleshooting flow chart on page 61.

“Why do I get a blue screen?”

If the VCR’s tuner cannot receive a normal synchro- nized signal, it will put a blue screen in its place. Double check your antenna connections.

“The Power Indicator is blinking.”

Your Dual-Deck VCR is in Auto Power Off mode. If you press the power button while rewinding a tape, timer recording, One-Touch recording, copying a tape, or using EZ-Copy, your VCR will automatically turn off when that function is completed. Repeatedly pressing the power button will turn Auto Power mode on and off.

“Copy on the Front Panel Display is blinking.”

Any pause (interruption) in the Copy Tape process will cause this button to blink. See Sync Edit, page 27.
