“I’m not getting a picture.”

“The picture is bad.”

“I can’t record from the TV.”

First, make sure that the TV/VCR key is set to VCR and that your TV is set to channel 3 or 4, whichever channel is set on the back of your VCR. You can use the TV/VCR key on the remote control.

If the picture is bad while watching the VCR and your TV is set to channel 3 or 4, try adjusting the fine tuning on your TV.

If the picture is bad when watching TV on a channel (as opposed to watching the VCR with the TV set on channel 3 or 4), make sure the VCR is in TV mode.

If the picture is bad while playing a tape, try setting the tracking control. Use the AUTO TRACK key on the front of the VCR or the TRK/MENU ▼ and ▲ keys on the remote

control. Or, the video heads might be dirty. Try cleaning the heads with a non-abrasive head cleaning tape, and always use high quality tapes in your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR.

Check the VHS record SOURCE indicator on the right-hand side of the Front Panel Display, or the On Screen Display Source screen. It should say TUNER. If it doesn’t, change the RECORD SOURCE in the VHS MENU to TUNER or to AUTO. If the RECORD SOURCE is set to AUTO, pressing the REC key will automatically record whatever you see on the TV screen.

“I can’t timer record.” First, make sure that your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR’s clock is set to the correct time. Double-check that the AM/PM setting is correct. Next, check the record SOURCE on the SET TIMER RECORD Menu. Set the source to CH, then set the channel that your program will be shown on. If you have a cable converter box, set the channel to 2, 3, or 4 (whichever channel your local cable company uses), and then set the cable box to the channel that your program will be shown on.
