Screen comes on but will not play back the tape

yes, this is what happens to analog tape...it gets corroded because it was not stored in a cool spot...your vcr heads are cleaned that is why u still hear the audio...(video will go first all the time)...but if you play it all the way through once a twice (see if you can save it ...dvd)

I think my Hi8 tape was magnatized I had 3/4 of the cassette taped I played it back once and when I went to play it back again I got a blue screen. I went to the local camera shop where we played the tape on his camera and we got intermitent static but no video. My canera is a Sony DCR-TRV260

try ruuning a cleaning tape through it. Might have clogged heads.

It is possible that the play back function is jammed. The other is the belt drive is broken. You dont have to use the store you bought it from there are many electronic stores that have their own techs. Spare parts for JVC are easy to source.

This is most because the control head may be dirty, this haed picks up the pulses from the tape to regulate the speed & tracking if this is off it can produce both the faults you describe. Also it is possible the pinch roller (black roller on the right hand side of the deck mechanism, sits just in front of the control head), this may be worn especially as the machine is five years old, this will cause the tape to guided off alignment.

I have had this problem. Dont despair! It s a cleaning issue or possibly slight moisture issue. They want you to clean the tape heads. Stick a cotton cue tip in there; i didnt use any denatured alcohol or anything... like we used to do with audio cassette tapes. And/or With a little bit of warm dry air (sitting in the sunshine perhaps) it should correct itself in a day or so. Happened to me (at wrong times of course) maybe three times or so. But never even ruined any tapes that I am aware of. Take heart, its a great little machine when cared for. Except I actually, alas! finally droped mine and now cant get the door open! . . . I was using the PV GS150 primarily by that time, but am still hoping to get the DV203 running again, still pics were really no good on it, but everything else was. All these years worked like a charm, except the few times it zebraed out on me briefly.

You know the watch battery that is often held under the screen? That battery is dead.

clean the heads - the '5 stripes' are the symptom of dirty heads.

i have a samsung rear projection , and it has red lines going across the screen. i put it in the back of my cuboard and went out to buty a new tv . now a few months on i got it back out to have a play with it and i coverd up the red bulb with something fireproof and now the picture is great again just that there is no red anything that is red looks a bit darker. its not great but a least its some use now and i use it in my bedroom. it mite not be much help but a least i dont have to keep it in a cuboard anymore.
