If you are having problems with your VCR, check the following list of problems and possible solutions before requesting service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.

No power

Make sure the power plug is completely connected to an AC (alternating current) outlet.

Make sure the power is turned on.

Power Failure

Timer recordings and the clock setting may be lost if the power fails for more than one minute. See page 15 to reset your clock. See pages 30-37 to reprogram your timer recordings.

A TV program cannot be recorded.

Check the connections between the VCR, TV, antenna/cable, and Cable Box/Digital Satellite System (if applicable) (pages six-10).

Make sure the tape has a record tab (page five).

Check the TV/VCR position (page 24).

Check the CH3/CH4 switch (pages six-nine).

The VCR will not perform a timer recording.

Make sure the recording start and stop times are set correctly (pages 30-37).

Make sure a tape is in the VCR and the tape has a record tab (page five). If, after programming a timer recording, you turn off the VCR power without putting a tape in the VCR, the Timer light will blink.

If the record tab on a tape is missing, the VCR will eject the tape. The Timer light will blink.

Make sure the VCR power is off.

Make sure the clock is set (page 15).

The VCR may not perform or continue a timer recording if a power interruption of more than one minute occurs during the timer recording, even if the power comes back on afterward.

If you have a Cable Box, timer recordings are programmed differently. (See page eight for details.)

It is best to finish programming a timer recording at least five minutes before the recording is scheduled to begin.

12 PM is noon; 12 AM is midnight.

The VCR did not record the complete OTR or timer recording.

The end of the tape was reached before the end of the recording. The VCR will eject the tape and turn itself off.

Satellite Hookups

Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a satellite hookup. You may have to set your TV to channel 3 or 4, then make your channel selections at the satellite con- verter box.

With many satellite hookups, if you use accessory audio and video cables to connect your VCR to your TV, you will have to put your VCR in Line Input mode. To enter Line Input mode, press 0, 0 on the VCR’s remote control. A/V IN will appear on your TV screen briefly.

Line Input mode

If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (A/V IN will appear on your TV screen briefly), press the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons or use the Number buttons to select another channel.

Daylight-Saving Time

When automatic Daylight-Saving Time is set, the clock time will change automatically as follows: on the first Sunday in April, from 2 AM to 3 AM; on the last Sunday in October, from 2 AM to 1 AM.

During the April time change, a timer recording programmed to start between 2 AM and 3 AM will not record. A timer recording programmed to end between 2 AM and 3 AM will end when the clock moves forward (2 AM).

During the October time change, a recording cannot be started between the second 1 AM and 1:59 AM.

The motor (cylinder) rotates even when the VCR is in Stop mode.

To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal.
