AIWA VCR model HV-MX1problem

Question edited for clarity
Question moved from Cars and Trucks.

I can find anything, and what was termed a 'Service Manual' was in fact a parts manual. Try running the machine and you will see a pulley turning. The pulleys have to be in line. Put a belt on that one, and the pulley opposite it. Then see what that turns and follow the drive train.

Hi,

Unfortunately, the best chance you got of getting the tape out is to open up the video to release the tape.

Probably not then, but you could try a tape recorded at EP.

Turn over the VCR. Unscrew the base. You will see the 3 belts. Turn the rightmost belt clockwise or anticlockwise (don't remember) but you will see the tape hold mechanism moving down. Once it is all the way down, you can eject the tape out.

You may need to replace one or all 3 belts. This is being caused by belts being loose.

hope this helps.

Just the usual problem of needing the rubber belts replaced.
They last about 6 years normally so you are overdue.
Buy a kit of belts for your model from all kinds of sites on the net and install them yourself if you are handy with delicate mechanisms.
Hope ya fix it!

more than likely one of the belts has broken

did u try cleaning the video head? heres how! unplugged the unit. open the cover. get a piece of clean white paper. put a little alcohol on it. place your finger on the paper and slowly touch the head but not too much force then gadually move the drum back and forth. donot move your finger up or down. just clean it horizontally by slowly moving the drum leaving your finger stationary. let it dry and test. if the problem persist see a doctor(technician), u have a problem with the color circuits. good luck!
