No picture and no sound  
No playback or a poor  
picture  
TV programmes cannot be The top of the video  
recorded picture is unstable  
Check that the Video plug has  
been plugged in and switched on  
at a mains wall socket and that  
the television has been plugged in  
and switched on.  
Try a different video cassette.  
If the problem is resolved, the  
problem may have been the  
cassette itself.  
The video cassette may be  
damaged. Insert another video  
cassette and check the picture  
from it.  
Check the reception on your  
television set. If you cannot  
receive a picture through your  
aerial, the Video will be unable to  
record television broadcasts.  
Check the aerial lead is  
undamaged and securely  
connected to the correct sockets  
in both the television and the  
Video.  
Try adjusting the horizontal  
control on your television, you  
should consult your television  
user guide on how to do this.  
Try using TRK(v/V) button to  
reduce the amount of visible  
interference.  
Check the aerial lead is  
undamaged and securely  
connected to the correct outlet.  
If the cassette contains a  
recording that you have recently  
made from the television, the  
television channels may not be  
tuned to the Video correctly.  
Check the aerial lead is  
undamaged and securely  
connected to the correct  
jacks.  
Check the rear of the video  
cassette to see if the safety tab  
used to prevent recording has  
been removed.  
Check that you have tuned into a  
video channel on your television.  
Check the Video INPUT settings  
(see page 9).  
Ensure that the television has  
been correctly tuned to your  
Video.  
The Remote Control does  
not work  
Check that the signal being  
received by the television is of  
reasonable quality.  
A video tape cannot be  
inserted  
Has the Video been plugged in?  
The tape is ejected in the  
REC mode.  
Check that the batteries have  
been inserted correctly into the  
Remote Control.  
Check that there is not a cassette  
in the Video already.  
Is the video cassette the right  
way round? The windows should  
be at the top and the arrow  
should be pointing toward the  
Video.  
The cassette has had the erase  
prevention tab removed. Stick a  
piece of adhesive tape over the  
erase prevention tab hole or  
select a different cassette.  
Autoplay does not work
