20 Most Recent Panasonic PV-8661 VHS VCR Questions & Answers

My Panasonic PV-8661 will load a tape but will not run. It stops immediately after pressing Play, Fast Forward or Rewind. The large gear wheel just rotates back and forth.

There is a possibility of some damage to the mechanism. You will have too look around for plastic parts that are damaged. Another possibility is the mode switch is playing up. This tells the electronics what position the mechanism is in. Sometimes a spray of Servisol Video 40 on it will cure it. But if it is worn out, then it won't. You can get them, but to fit it in you will need the service manual, as they are very tricky to set up right. For example they are rarely set up in the eject mode!

Service manual

The problem is not with the power supply. A VCRs when the mechanism jams up will automatically shut down to prevent further damage. The fact that the tape got stuck inside and forced removal will not have done the mechanism any good. It was probably damaged in some way before. Also the Mode switch will now be out of position, this tells the electronics what mode the VCR is in. Can't help with the manual but you will need one now just to set up the mode switch right. First off I would look around for any broken plastic parts.

Hi there,

The codes for Panasonic VCRs for your remote are: 321 322 323 and 324

Programming instructions:

1. Switch the VCR on;
2. Press and hold both the ACTION * and POWER buttons simultaneously for at least 5 seconds;
3. Press the VCR button once
4. Enter the first code from the list above - 3 2 1 - using the numerical keys on the remote
5. Press the POWER button once. The VCR should switch off

* The ACTION button is the small round button in the centre of the arrows

If the VCR does not switch off, repeat the above steps for the other 3 codes in the list until you find one that works. If/when the VCR switches off, switch it back on and test the remote with other functions - play/stop/pause, etc. If it does not function correctly, try the other codes in the list.

If you have tried the 4 Panasonic codes and your VCR does not respond to any of them, it's unlikely that the remote will operate your VCR. There is a code search feature, but as this is a Panasonic remote and a Panasonic VCR, codes for other brands are highly unlikely to work.

Please try the above codes then let me know if you need the code search instructions. I can also supply the full manual for this remote, if required.

Hope this helps. Please reply to me by clicking on "Add a Comment" below your question if you need further assistance.

Good luck!

Regards,
BElectric

Panasonic hds700tds playing audio no videos

  1. Check the Input Source: Make sure you have selected the correct input source on your TV for the device you are using. Use the remote control to cycle through the input options until you find the one connected to your video source.
  2. Check Video Connections: Ensure that all video cables (such as HDMI, component, or composite cables) are securely connected between your TV and the device you are trying to watch content from. A loose or faulty cable connection could result in a loss of video signal.
  3. Restart the TV and Video Source: Try restarting both your TV and the device you are trying to watch content from. Power off both devices, wait a few moments, and then power them back on. This can sometimes resolve temporary glitches or issues with the video signal.
  4. Check for Software Updates: Make sure your TV's firmware is up-to-date. Sometimes software updates can resolve compatibility issues or bugs that may be affecting video playback. Check the settings menu on your TV for an option to update the firmware, or visit the manufacturer's website for instructions on how to do so.
  5. Reset Video Settings: If you've made any changes to your TV's video settings, such as resolution or picture mode, try resetting them to their default values. This can sometimes resolve issues with video playback.
  6. Try a Different Device: If possible, try connecting a different device (such as a DVD player or gaming console) to your TV to see if the issue persists. This can help determine whether the problem lies with the TV itself or with the original device you were using.
  7. Contact Panasonic Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible there may be a hardware problem with your TV. In this case, you may need to contact Panasonic customer support for further assistance or to schedule a repair.

I have a Panasonic 50-in flat screen TV a storm came by and knocked out my TV and my Yukon no breaker was off so did it come through the antenna please help

  1. Check the Power Cord: Ensure that the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and the power outlet. Make sure there are no visible signs of damage to the power cord or the plug.
  2. Inspect the Power Outlet: Try plugging another electronic device (such as a lamp or a phone charger) into the same outlet to verify if it is functioning properly. If other devices work fine, then the issue is likely not with the power outlet.
  3. Check for Tripped Circuit Breakers: Check your circuit breaker or fuse box to see if a circuit breaker has been tripped or a fuse blown. If so, reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse and try plugging in your TV again.
  4. Test with Different Power Source: If possible, try plugging your TV into a different power source altogether, such as a different room or building. This will help determine if the issue is specific to the power source you were previously using.
  5. Contact Panasonic Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue and your TV still does not power on, it's likely that there is a hardware problem with the TV itself. In this case, you may need to contact Panasonic customer support for further assistance or to arrange for repairs. Be sure to provide them with details of the troubleshooting steps you've already taken.
Hope this helps
