“My On Screen Display has a message that says LOAD, DRUM or

REEL ERROR.”

“Sometimes I can’t EJECT a tape using my remote control.”

"I can't reset the 8mm Tape Counter."

“The power went out, and now my VCR doesn’t work.”

The VCR has had difficulty with the tape loading mecha- nism. To reset, turn the power off, and on again. If this does not clear the error, unplug the VCR from the wall and inspect both tape slots for foreign objects or crooked tapes.

If there is scene information in the Edit List from an Auto- matic Assembly Edit, the 8mm deck will not allow you to eject the tape using the remote control. This is because if you eject the tape, you will lose your scene programming. We don’t want to make it too easy to do this by accidentally ejecting the 8mm tape. You can still eject the tape using the eject button behind the Left Tower door — this will erase all your Edit List settings.

If there is scene information in the Scene Edit List from an Automatic Assembly Edit, you will not be able to reset the Tape Counter on the 8mm deck. This is to prevent you from losing your scene programming. To clear unwanted pro- gramming, eject the 8mm tape using the Eject key behind the Left Tower Door.

A strong static electricity shock, or other unforeseen circum- stance, can cause the control system of your Dual-Deck VCR to lock up. To reset the control system, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet for five seconds and plug it in again. If this does not restore all operations to normal, unplug it again for ten minutes. You will then need to reset the clock (if the clock is still set, you haven't unplugged the VCR for long enough). If these steps do not correct the problem, the Dual-Deck VCR must be serviced by an autho- rized service center.

If your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR needs service, or if you’re having problems that you can’t solve by consulting the Owner’s Guides, contact a Go-Video Consumer Relations representative at (602) 922-0896. You will get the best service from our representatives if you place your call while in front of your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR.
