My Sony SVO-2100 S-VHS VCR (with the SVBK-10 RS232C interface) has an interesting problem: all functions work except REW and FF. However, if these buttons are pressed during PLAY, the reverse or forward speed of the tape playing will increase as it should. The problem is that normal REW and FF won't work. The machine tries, but the tape transport does not move, so the VCR quits after 5 seconds or so. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the interface or if the machine might have gotten stuck in some mode where regular REW and FF doesn't work, so any ideas will be appreciated.
