48 DUAL-DECK VCR USER'S GUIDE
“Why aren’t the Counters moving?”
If the VCR is playing an unrecorded or blank tape, the
counter cannot operate. The VCR relies on the control track
that is always recorded onto the video tape to provide
counter information.
“Why can’t I get a Menu or an On-Screen Display?”
If the VCR is playing an unrecorded or blank tape, the VCR
cannot produce on-screen data to be displayed. Stop the
tape or record on it to allow the On-Screen Display to
resume. It may be that your remote is set to control the TV
instead of the VCR. Press the VCR button on your remote to
reactivate it. Finally, if the Date/Time Stamp is set to CONT
(Continuous) and recording is in progress, the On-Screen
Display and menu are disabled. Press Stop on the recording
deck to restore normal on-screen functions.
“Why do I get a blue screen?”
If the VCR’s tuner cannot receive a normal synchronized
signal, it will display a blue screen in its place. Double
check your antenna connections or channel setup.
“My Power button is blinking.”
Your Dual-Deck VCR is in Auto Power Off mode. If you
press the Power button while rewinding, copying, Timer
Recording, One-Touch Recording or using EZ-Copy, your
VCR will automatically turn off when that function is
completed. Pressing the Power button toggles Auto Power
On and Off.
“My Copy Tape button is blinking.”
Any pause (interruption) in the Copy Tape process will
cause this button to blink. See Sync Editing on page 35.
“I lose Stereo sound when I turn on my VCR.”
If your TV and VCR are connected with an RF Cable, you will
only hear stereo sound if the VCR is turned off. To hear
stereo sound with the VCR turned on, you must connect the
TV and VCR with RCA Cables (see Advanced Connections,
page 43). Connect the VCR’s “Left/Right Audio Out” jacks to
the TV’s “Left/Right Audio In” jacks. Please note: With this
connection, you will need to watch the VCR from the “Video”
or “Aux” position of the TV tuner instead of channel 3 (or 4).
