The panasonic player VCR/DVD combo plays Tape/VHS or DVD fine for 30 to 45 fine but then automatically powers off. When I try to power on, it automatically plays DVD when the output is VHS. It plays for another 5 mins and powers off automatically. IT doesn't power on. I will have to leave it alone and play the next day and the same problem again. What should I do. Thanks Venkata
This is actually an easy fix what you do is you take off lid the VCR cleaning everything with a Q-tip and a little alcohol all the gears accept the head with the head you use a cloth 4 eyeglass wear that's for anti reflective lenses and a little alcohol this will not scratch your head on the VCR wipe out all dust and fuzz too around the vent in back.
Then next you take.and use white grease and grease everything that has a track area being careful not to touch heads . You even do that tracks on the side of the VCR the ones that go in to the machine
Then towards the front of machine you will see two round gears lift those up slightly and check to see if white tape is in tracks if not push it slightly with a cuetip.
Then put machine back together as tape won't work with top of machine off
Plug in and hook.up IT should work now.
Good luck
Do this before you replace a ton if part
Take it back and for an exchange.
It will automatically shut down if there is a heat issue.
