Hi everybody!
I am writing this message after careful checking of times and lighting of errors/tapes. I have the vcr mentioned in the message subject and I have the following problems and no idea on how to fix them:
- the top part of the screen is "bent" to the left for an inch or so (on a 21" TV) most of the time and suddenly becomes normal for a while. Lighting of the movie is irrelevant for the behaviour. Rewatching the same tape, the error will occur in different timings everytime;
- the tape sometimes stops at random intervals, always within an hour span, both in recording and playback (so i can't record anything anymore, basically). Pressing play/rec will resume the operation normally, until the next unwanted stop
I' ve verified this with different lenghts/brands of tapes and it makes no difference. I have searched the net and read somewhere to look for dry spots in Q1504, having no idea of where that is, for the sudden stop problem...
Also, tried the same tapes on a different vcr = no problems...
Thx in advance for any help you may provide, Lupo
