This will give you a clue to the problem.

The best way to clean a video head is to remove the top outer cover, then you can spray the head with Servisol Video 40. You can also spray the audio/control head at the same time. You can get Servisol from electrical shops and also online (image below).

The best way to clean a video head is to remove the top cover and Spray the heads (both video head and audio/control heads) with Servisol Video 40 see image below. Just let it dry up (which wont take long) and that should do the trick. If you spot some nasty bits of dirt, spray a cotton bud and wipe it away.

Unplug your unit for about 1 minute, then plug it back in again (resets the unit). Select English as the language, and you're set. Good luck to you!

Retune your video channels

A DTV converter box will take digital broadcast signals from the antenna and convert them to a format compatible with the VCR. You will be able to record programs received through the DTV box on your VCR if you could record analog over-the-air programs before the digital changeover. You can use either the RF output or the component output from the DTV box to input to the VCR.

You need to set the vcr to channel 3 or 4 (whatever channel the digital converter box is set to broadcast on) to record a program. The digital converter box has to be set to the channel you want to record the show from.

most of these use the remote control to set clocks. Find the menu button and scroll through all options...it should be there.
