When i start the recorder, it makes a check then "error" appears... can anyone help me on this

possible bad outputs for speakers overheating and shutting off

Did you possibly hook it up right to your tv? Where was the blue screen. How do you know it recorded anything if your not sure if it works right. Is the tape moving? Sometimes it may appear to be moving and really it's not. Hear isn't a good thing with a tape recording device. I know this might sound trivial, but I would read the directions if ya got them and make sure your not skipping a step. If you record on some machines you have to switch from record back to play mode. Where is the blue screen.

could be its not digital, so it will not pick up any channels as they are now all digital not terestrial through the aerial like the y used to be. you need a digi box now to plug the recorder into

Try cleaning the lens. A commercial lens cleaner should do the job, but if not, contact me again, and I'll try to help you clean it manually

there will be a circuitry problem, if you havnt had it long take it back and see if you can get a replacement

Can u tell me what u have dear. u didn't mention the name of any product or model no....

IC001 STRG6353 on power board may be faulty

i have a r136 , have you got the dvd discs u need ? i had the wrong format .

eg, dvd+rw needed dvd-rw

if not and there re-recordables they dont work after a few recordings and u need a new disc.

Probably a corrupt file. Format the card and start over.

make sure you set dubbing speed to sp ,short play,thats the default setting,then go to start up menu and finalize disk
