Display Cannot remove the programme number from the top left of the screen so AV2 or AV2 is always on.

You might just need to press the source button on TV remote so a box pops up on the screen giving you options like tv,hdmi1,hdmi2 or av1,av2. Hopefully its a little helpful.

To start you have to push and hold the up and down buttons simultaneously until the screen displays "setup" across the top. There will be a number on the left, and a number in the right. Press the UP arrow until the number on the left reads 14, The number on the right should read 0. Press the DOWN arrow to change it to 1. Once this has been done you can press the RUN button to save the changes, and exit the setup screen. Your display will now read Celsius,

Pick TV Remote Control and press Display button once, On-Screen display [AV2] will disappear.
Hope this will help.

Hi,
Press Info/ Display button on TV remote, on-screen display will disappear.
Thanks.

There should be a button on your TV remote that will be called "Display" or "P in P".
The display button usually displays which input you have selected, such as: SAT for Satellite; AV1, AV2, AV3 or AV4 - depending on how many inputs your TV has, to plug in devices like a VCR or DVD recorder/player.
Otherwise, if you have a more sophisticated TV, it could be that you have accidentally pressed the "P in P" button, that selects the Picture in Picture mode. If you have done this, your TV will display the main picture of the input you have selected, plus another input, (such as SAT or AV1 or AV2 etc. as I've mentioned above). If the AV1 or AV2, etc. input is not active (not switched on) then that input will only display a blank (black) picture in the top left corner of the screen.
Hope this helps...

Does it do so on all tapes? It sounds like you are experiencing a tracking or tape path problem. You might try taking the top cover off, then cleaning the video head. Info is available on the 'net on how to do this. If problem remains, play a tape and see it is wandering up/down across video head. See if any of the tape guides are broken or bent, causing tape wandering. you may also have a problem in the electronics, perhaps in the servo circuitry, which has to do with careful control of tape speed, video head rotational speed, and certain other parameters. If electronics are bad, then VCR is likely a tosser, unless it is a high $ rig. Most electronics are disposable these days, unfortunately.
