Can't get the foot petal to stay programmed

1. Set all tension to 1.
2. Remove all the thread.
3. Disengage the trimmer.
4. Turn it by hand.
5. If it is free, try your foot petal again. It it runs, learn how to thread. It only takes one mistake to bind up the machine.
6. If still slow, borrow a foot petal (or take to a shop and use one there). If still slow, bad motor.
7. It it does not turn free, open the case (but look on Youtube first):
8. It might need lube. Use a LITTLE BIT of oil on the inner bearings but none on the motor.
9. Cutter too tight. Loosen.
10. Wad of thread inside.
11. Something bent.
12. Out of timing. Again, see Youtube.

the sewing machine needs to be serviced

have you checked to make sure the power cord is pushed in correctly?
if the power cord isn't the problem then it may need to be checked by a service tech, because it's not suppose to be running slow just a few months after you bought it.
I would call the people you bought it from & tell them what it's doing & see if they'll give you another one, I've been sewing for 30+ years & I wouldn't keep the machine.
good luck

have uploaded the information from my alldata book but you will have to wait till the picture is censored

This Sony model has a scan feature that reads index info on the tape. If the tape is recorded on a non Sony unit, you may have this issue. To turn this off, Hold both the Stop and Reset buttons together for about 5 seconds. The display will now only show the counter, no indexs, and your problem should be resolved. If you lose power, you will need to do this again.

Your brake switch is just hung up. it is located directly above the brake petal and is attached to the petal bracket-use a flashlight and get down low enough to see up under the dash where your brake petal is, it will be hooked onto the petal bracket-just move it, it is probably just mis-aligned.

This is the user's manual for a Phillips remote control. There is a list of codes in it. They should be rather universal. There's also instructions as to how to program it. I believe that there is a way to program it without using the codes.

Programming with Code Search

1. Manually turn on the device (TV, VCR, etc.) to be controlled.

2. Press and hold Code Search button until the red indicator stays on. Release the Code Search button.

3. Press and release the desired mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blink, then stays lit.

4. Press the Channel Up button repeatedly (up to 300 times) until the device could be controlled changes channel. The red indicator blinks, then stays lit. If you accidentally overshoot the code required, press the Channel Down button to backtrack through the library until the device changes channel. Pressing Channel Up changes direction to forward again. Press and release the Mute button to install the code.

Hope this helps :)
