1.Lack of video input signal.
If the VCR is set to record and an input signal is not detected, the indication NO SIGNAL appears on the monitor screen and the CALL signal is output from the rear terminal.
Check that the cable from the camera is not broken and the camera's power has not been lost.
2.About fouling of the head (CLOGGED HEAD).
This VCR’s head cleaning function automatically removes any particles that may accumulate on the heads during 48H - 960H (SP) or 0H recording mode. If it cannot be entirely removed, a CLog indicator illuminates.
