“My remote control isn’t working.”

“When I use Copy Tape, the VHS tape ejects.”

“When I use Copy Tape, there’s no sound.”

“Sometimes the tape begins to play or rewind when I don’t want it to.”

“Sometimes when I push a button, the VCR beeps twice but doesn’t do anything.”

There are several things which could cause your remote control to not function properly. First, make sure that you are aiming the remote control directly at the VCR. Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote control and the VCR, so the “beam” from the remote control is not obstructed on its path to the VCR. Make sure the batteries in your remote control are fresh, and installed properly. Finally, the signal from the remote control to the VCR can be disrupted if there is a neon light nearby.

Make sure that there is a Record Safety Tab on your VHS tape. If the tab is missing, you can place a small piece of transparent tape over the hole. This will allow you to copy onto the tape.

Check the AMERICHROME COPY menu. The AUDIO IN- SERT option should be set to OFF. If it is set to ON, the VCR is expecting sound to come from a source other than the 8mm tape, so it turns the sound OFF that tape.

The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR will automatically play a tape whenever you load it. It will also automatically rewind at the end of a tape. If you wish, you can set the Dual-Deck VCR so that it auto- plays only, auto-rewinds only, does both or does neither. Do this by changing AUTO PLAY/REW in the AUTO FEATURES MENU to PLAY, REW, BOTH, or OFF.

The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR is equipped with a tone feedback system. Each time you press a key, the VCR will beep once if it has understood your command, or twice if you have given a command that the VCR can’t do. For example, if the 8mm deck is the active deck, and you press REC, the VCR will beep twice because the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR Model GV8020 does not record on the 8mm deck. Or, the VCR might beep twice if you are pressing a key out of sequence. Pressing inactive keys will produce no tone. If you wish, you can disable the tone feedback system by setting KEY TONES in the AUTO FEATURES MENU to OFF.
