Remedy
• Connect the mains lead securely.
• Moisture condensation has occured. Turn the power
off, unplug the mains lead and leave the VCR to dry
for over an hour.
• The auto safety system is triggered to protect your tape
and the VCR’s mechanism when there is something
wrong with the tape or when the mechanism is
overloaded. Press
?/1
ON/STANDBY to restart the
VCR. If the VCR does not work after pressing
?/1
ON/STANDBY again, disconnect the mains lead from
the mains. Wait for at least 15 seconds. Then reconnect
the mains, and press
?/1
ON/STANDBY again. If the
VCR still does not work, please consult your nearest
Sony service facility.
• Make sure the TV is set to the video channel. If you are
using a monitor, set it to video input.

V
/
v
NORMAL/SLOW/
STILL ADJUST buttons.
• Make sure the COLOR SYSTEM switch is set to the
position corresponding to the colour system which the
tape was recorded with.
• The video heads are dirty (see next page). Clean the
video heads using the Sony T-25CLD, T-25CLW or E-
25CLDR video head cleaning cassette. If these cleaning
cassettes are not available in your area, have the heads
cleaned at your nearest Sony service facility (a
standard service charge will be required). Do not use a
commercially available liquid type cleaning cassette, as
it may damage the video heads.
• The video heads may have to be replaced. Consult
your local Sony service facility for more information.
• Adjust the vertical hold control on the TV or monitor.
• The tape is defective.
• If you made A/V connections, check the audio cable
connection.
