Vcr wont play properly tracking seems to be off

It is possibe that the guide of the tape transport is gone a little off. This can happen if the guide has not loaded properly. check inside for obstructions to the link. if not try to screw down the half split screw a little down on either side to release the tracking/ noise onthe screen. Also clean the tracking head which is also the audio head. clean your roller if this is holding down the tape. Please do this with caution and care. clean your head and also the lower section of the head drum for dirt. you will see accumulation on/under the lower drum , Hope this helps. Good day

I have a secondhand vcr in fact three, Sony,

You might be able to get the manuals free from the makers websites, I reckon a good chance of getting the Sony anyway. You will need the model numbers they should be on the back of each unit.

VCR won't eject tape - timing of loading mechanism is off

Now-a-days most of the gears are made out of plastic(HDPE, if I remember correctly), when the rewinding command is given even if one gear tooth is worn/broken it will throw the entire timing out of 'gear'. Since the problem has already occurred, and, this is the only function that has malfunctioned my advice would be to leave it as it is! ('cos repairing/replacing it is manual & therefore a costly affair plus there is no guarantee that the replacedment will function properly)....sodeep

If the rt guide arm is not moving fully forward, just put a couple of drops of white grease on the mechanism.

The arm with the felt pad is the autu-head cleaner pad. after a year or 2 of use, it will be more a menace than a good useful cleaner, as it will add the accumulated dirt on to the head, instead of cleaning. Just remove it.

SLV 940 HF

Is it having trouble either loading or ejecting the tape? If so, then something is probably awry in that mechanism. Take the top cover off and watch a load or eject operation. If tape isn't fully loaded, and tape threaded, then an error condition will result, as will be the case if it won't eject. Causes include a broken piece of the load mechanism (also called cassette carriage or carriage mechanism), broken or cracked gear. If the mechanism is gear driven, timing is critical, just being out of time one tooth will foul things up. There are often marks on the gears which must line up exactly in a particular mode as specified in manufacturer service literature. Most VCRs since the early '90s are disposeable, very prone to breakage, in contrast to early units which were made like tanks, costing $400 plus.

Sony SLV-940HF automatically ejects tape.

1st try a different tape.
If it's the same, listen carefully for unusual noises, clunks, grinding, etc. when the tape goes in. Is something binding?

With the tape out, look inside the door, see if you can spot anything in there that shouldnt be there such as a small toy, money, playing card, sandwich, bits of food? Those are the usuals.

Turn the vcr upside down and holding the tape door open, tilt it so if there was a foreign object in there, it would fall out.

Sony SLV940HF

Since you have had this problem with other VCR's, it is very likely to be a problem with the connecting cables. Defective cables, or too many cables (daisy-chaining more than a few devices) can cause ghosting, which is what you're experiencing. Try a new set of cables from the TV to the VCR, and also from the VCR to any cable, satellite or outside antenna.

Sony SLV-940HF VCR Will not accept tape

Dear Rob, There can be two reasons for your problem.Let us consider the simpler and most likely cause.....Belts!!! Unplug the Plug from the Power socket. Open up the top and bottom Panels.Check the belts. Most likely you will find a belt has snapped ( a 80% possibility) or become very very loose. Also check the Tape Loading mechanism,there is a small belt which connects from the Loading motor to the Loading Mechanism. Replace the belts as a entire set. Let me know if this worked out. Good Luck.

My sony tv bravia model klv 32v400A has no picture but the mauns light turns from red to green using the remote. What is the problem please?

This TV is 10 years old and probably requires a service that replaces the backlight invertor or just a power supply issue. Check to see if the light blinks. (That is the fault code and then google the result for more information).

Sony older model with side speakers flashes red led after blinking green here a grinding sound when powering on

All questions need 'make model (what is is)' as first 3 words in every question please. Television? Stereo? Sound bar? ICE? The grinding noise makes me think you have a cooling fan issue, in which case the flashing LED would be signaling an overheat situation. You can Google sony model blink codes ..

User
I need code for newstar ntr b28z for my Sony tv

ChatGPT
Unfortunately, I can't provide specific code for your Sony TV remote without knowing the exact model number. However, you can usually find the code in the user manual of your Sony TV or by contacting Sony customer support. Alternatively, you can try using the auto-search feature on your newstar ntr b28z remote to find the correct code for your Sony TV.



User

ChatGPT
To find the code for your Sony TV using the Newstar NTR B28Z remote, you can try these general steps:

Turn on your Sony TV.
Press and hold the "TV" button on your Newstar remote until it blinks twice.
Enter the code for Sony TVs. Some common Sony TV codes are: 0000, 0011, 0080, 0111, 1234. If none of these work, you can proceed to the next step.
Press the "Power" button on the Newstar remote. If the TV turns off, the code is correct. If not, try a different code.
Once you've found the correct code, press the "TV" button again to lock it in.
If none of the provided codes work, you might need to consult the manual of your Newstar remote or contact their customer support for assistance.
