Try cleaning the heads, but it seems like the heads may be faulty, you might need to replace the vcr, they don't cost much these days, the repair might cost more than a new vcr these days.

heres a cheap headcleaner, look for one at local shops, wallmart bestbuy and so on

The only real cure will be to clean the video head. If that doesn't work then I'm afraid that whatever recorded you EP mode tape was not set up well tracking wise. So other machines struggle to track the tape. Some VCR's will only playback SP or LP tapes and don't have EP mode. In which case you should check to see if these VCR's can play the EP tape and if they can't find one that can.

Hi;
I have a Panasonic VCR with a different, but I know how to 'fix' your problem on my m/c. The remote for my m/c has a "REC MODE" button; operating that button changes from SP to EP etc. Check it with the "Program" button on your TV screen.

there are three creases in the head , have you made sure those are cleard?

Just connect the pre existing speaker or earpiece through a newly installed E.P. socket.Whenever headset is connected to the E.P. socket, internal speaker will be disabled and external will be enabled. Same you have to do in the case of mic.Some more details are given below.
1.E.P. Socket = Earphone Socket ( With Series Switch, A SPDT switch is already attached to the inner side of the socket, whenever an E.P. Pin / Plug is inserted into the socket, It changes the position of the SPDT switch).
2.The inner speaker / earpiece / mic should be connected through the N/C ( Normally Connected ) Contact of the socket.

for printing of this machine ttr roll is use you check with another quality of that like canofax roll and cheak out for machine printing.

Sorry, you need the remote. There are sites that sell remotes.

sounds like it needs a good cleaning, you will notice this problem in sp first when needs cleaned. however if you had done this I would go over it again and if not then change the video head
