Explanation/Solution

No power You cannot insert a video cassette The television programme was not recorded
Check that the power plug is connected to a wall outlet. Have you pressed the STANDBY/ON button? A video cassette can only be inserted with the window side up and the safety tab facing you. Check the DVD-VCR aerial connections. Is the DVD-VCR tuner properly set? Check if the safety tab is intact on the cassette. Was the STANDBY/ON button pressed to activate the timer? 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/EXTERNAL setting. It should be on TUNER. Check the TV/VCR aerial connections. Press the TRK (+or -) buttons to minimize this effect. A still picture may have noise bars, depending on the condition of the tape. Press the TRK (+or -) buttonsduring 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.
