Cleaning
• Check that the power plug is connected to a wall outlet.
•
A video cassette can only be inserted with the window
side up and the safety tab facing you.
• Check the DVD-VCR antenna/cable connections.
• Is the DVD-VCR tuner properly set?
• Check if the safety tab is intact on the cassette.
• Re-check the recording start/stop time settings.
• If there was a power failure or interruption during timer
recording, the recording will have been cancelled.
• Check to see if you are using a prerecorded tape.
• Check the tuner or external setting. It should be on tuner.
• Check the TV or VCR antenna connections.
• Press the TRK buttons to minimize this effect.
• A still picture may have “noise bars”, depending on the
condition of the tape. Press the TRK buttons during slow
motion to minimize this effect.
• If poor pictures appear on a variety of cassettes, the video
heads may need cleaning. This is not a common problem
and unless it appears, the heads should not be cleaned.
When cleaning the video heads, read all instructions
provided with the head cleaning cassette. Incorrect head
cleaning can permanently damage the video heads.
