TROUBLESHOOTING

Before requesting service for a problem, use this chart and see if you can repair the trouble yourself. Small problems are often easily

corrected, and this can save you the trouble of sending your VCR off for repair.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

● The power cord is disconnected.

● The TIMER mode is engaged with

Auto Timer set to "OFF" (Z pg. 48).

● The Child Lock mode is engaged.

● The batteries are discharged.

SYMPTOM

1. The power won’t come on.

2. The clock works, but the VCR’s

power won’t come on.

3. The remote control won’t function.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Connect the power cord.

Press TIMER to disengage.

Press and hold POWER on the remote

to disengage the mode (Z pg. 60).

Replace the dead batteries with new

ones.

SYMPTOM

1. The cassette gets stuck partway

during loading, and is ejected.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Make sure the cassette's window is

facing up, the rear label side is facing

you and the arrow on the front of the

cassette is pointing towards the VCR.

Then insert the cassette.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

● The cassette was inserted incorrectly.

SYMPTOM

1. The tape is running but the picture

won’t appear.

2. Breaks are noticeable in Hi-Fi

soundtrack.

3. The playback picture is blurred or

interrupted, even though TV

broadcasts are clear.

heard.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

● If you’re using the RF OUT connec-

tion (Z pg. 6), the channel selector

on the TV is set incorrectly.

(Z pg. 6), the TV receiver is set to

the wrong mode.

● The video heads may be dirty.

● The AUDIO MONITOR option was

set incorrectly.

or 4.

the tracking manually (Z pg. 25).

The heads must be cleaned. Consult

your JVC dealer.

(Z pg. 29).

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Insert a cassette.

Remove the cassette and cover the

hole with adhesive tape, or load a

cassette on which the record safety

tab is intact.

Set the VCR to the appropriate

channel.

Refer to the directions and the

illustration under “Edit To Or From

Another VCR” (Z pg. 51) or “Edit

From A Camcorder” (Z pg. 52) and

properly connect the units.

Make sure the power to all units is on.

Select the recorder’s appropriate

input mode.

mode by mistake.
