I no longer have the original remote for my Samsung TV/VCR combo and am using a universal remote. Yesterday I started having problems with the speed of the VCR playback. Mostly, it is too slow, distorting the sound, but on one occassion, when I was pushing buttons on the remote, the speed got fast, like a 78 record. I can find no way on the remote, or on the tv, to adjust the recording speed. My old vcr used to cycle through LP, SLP and STD, if I recall correctly. I hope you can help me, thank you.

Yes,the VCR play head drum is getting dirty,might have to require a head playing tape to play to clean the play head drum.These head cleaning tape was made by many copannies in the late 80 early 90,u still can buy it on websites like Amazon.com,Ebay.com to buy it.Think 3M is the only company still have these old products left around.

thank you so much, Chu, I will definitely get one of those and if that doesn't work, I will try the genuine remote. You have been very helpful - thank you, have a terrific holiday. thank you so much, Chu, I will definitely get one of those and if that doesn't work, I will try the genuine remote.
