Sony SLV-SE820 VHS VCR Questions & Answers
Hi,can I record digital transmissions
You can record a digital TV signal on a VHS VCR but only in analog format. The digital signal must be input to the VCR by some component which has a yellow composite video output and a white audio output such as a digital cable TV box or satellite receiver. For over-the-air digital TV, either the TV must output analog video or you need a DTV converter box connected to the VCR. Bottom line, the digital signal must be converted to analog for the VCR since VHS VCRs generally are analog recorders.

Uh oh. If you have already unplugged this unit and allowed to reset after 5 minutes, it will be time for a service visit...accordianman
Settings disappear
I suspect the internal backup battery is faulty inside the machine. Sometimes it can be an actual battery soldered to the circuit board otherwise look for a low voltage high capaticance capacitor - for example 3.5v 10F. If you dont know how to check for these things then find a competant technician. Good luck.

Try cleaning the entire Tape path, as I suspect a dirty Control Head. Since it is not wise that you open the machine and do it yourself, buy a good quality 'Wet Type' Head Cleaning cassette, and use as per instructions.
No picture
Have tried cleaning the Video Heads? Over long periods of usage, the viseoheads get clogged, and you get a 'dirty' or fuzzy picture. Go to the Video store (radio shack should be ok)and buy a Wet type Head Cleaning cassete. Follow the instructions, and I am fairly certain that your problem should be solved.
It is also possiblethat over a longperiod of usage, the Video Heads have got worn out. if you have been observing a gradual detoriation in picture quality, it could mean that the Video Heads have finally got worn out. in such a case they have to be replaced. First try the Cleaning option.
Slv-se820 vhs powers on but ?
this could be caused by noumerous things:
1. there may be all kinds of definitions that got messes up, such as a lock up of any kind. check manual, there should be a list of common faq's and solutions.
2. check for any blown fuses. check resistors.
3. regulator may have gone bad (not sure about that one).
4. there may be an incompatible level of voultage. if its too low it will not power on the system, if it is too high, the high-voultage mechanizm will cause it to shut down. measure the voultage in the system, if you dont know how to do it exactly: Remove both of the power transistors from the primary, then power
up the circuit with AC, then provide 5V (variable) to the secondary side, send it back in the way it normally comes out! Now measure accross the transisor side of the opto while varying the 5V above and below 5V (note: the transistor side of the opto is on the primary side of the power supply since it is feedback)
If the feedback circuits are working the opto should turn on and off as you vary the voltage above and below 5V.
there could be many more options im afraid, but I hope that will do. good luck.

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.
