GoVideo DDV9500 manual My On-Screen Display has a message that says Error, My VCR doesn’t work

Page 49

“My On-Screen Display has a message that says ERROR.”

This means the VCR has had difficulty with the tape mechanism. To reset, turn the power off and then on again. If this does not clear the error, unplug the VCR from the wall outlet and inspect both tape slots for foreign objects, or for jammed or crooked tapes.

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

If there is scene information in the Scene Edit List from an Automatic Assembly Edit, Deck 1 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. If you still want to eject the tape, you can do so by using the STOP/EJECT key on the front panel—this will erase all

your Edit List settings—or you can clear all scenes in the Edit List manually.

Remote Eject may not be turned on. See Remote Eject under the VCR SETTINGS menu.

“I can’t reset the Deck 1 tape counter.”

If there is scene information in the Scene Edit List from an Automatic Assembly Edit, you will not be able to reset the Deck 1 tape counter. This is to prevent you from losing your scene programming. To clear unwanted programming, eject the tape from Deck 1 using the front panel Stop/Eject key.

“My VCR doesn’t work.”

A strong static electricity shock or other unforeseen circum- stances may cause the control system of your Dual-Deck VCR to lock up. To reset the control system, first unplug the power cord from the wall outlet for 10 seconds and plug it in again. If this doesn’t restore all operations to normal, unplug it again for 15 minutes. You will then need to reset the clock (if the clock is still set, you haven’t unplugged it long enough). If these steps do not correct the problem, the Dual-Deck VCR must be serviced by an authorized service center.

“I can’t bring up the Edit List assembly menu.”

The VCR must have a tape in Deck 1 for the Edit List to appear because a tape is required to do any editing. Edit List is not available during Copy Tape.
