here is a old tip your vcr has a snowy picture and has audio.problem is dirty heads if you don't want to take it apart put a movie in and press play then rewind search and let it go. you will see the pic. come back in revese the tape is cleaning the video heads
a common problem is rental videos that have been damaged in the first few feet of the tape by some other vcr's defective drive mechanism that "eats"the tape..What happens is the particles of the damaged tape clog the video heads in your machine,which have gaps in the millionths of an inch.Put a brand new tape in the machine and let it play for a half hour or so and it will usually clear itself.If that does not do it,insert a head clening tape and a couple drops of cleaning fluid and run it through.The newer machines will show a blue screen if there is no video information present.However,if you put it on forward search,it overrides that feature and you will see a snowy picture from a good tape,if one video head is clogged and the other is working.There are 2 video heads on a rotating head.it spins at 1800rpm and that is the whirring sound you hear when play is pressed.If both heads are clogged,you will see a snowy screen and no picture at all.A 4 head machine has 2 heads for slp or 2 hour speed and the other 2 heads are used for lp and slp.A hifi vcr has 2 more heads,which are used for the hifi audio,a total of 6 heads.The stationary playback head has a control signal for tape speed,and regular audio,mono or stereo.
Sound like a heat issue. Clean it out with compressed air make sure it is in an area that jests lots of air (not in a cabinet or entertainment center shelf), Make sure it can breath. If that dont help i would have it cheked out or return for warranty. Good Luck
1.Check audio/video RCA jack cables 2.check S-video(if you use S-video cables) 3.check with another dvd player to get normal picture on your tv system. if picture is normal in this process. then problem with your old dvd player. 4.if same problem occurs in other dvd player. then problem with your television. external audio/video processing circuits 5.if the tv is ok. then the problem with your old Dvd player audio.video converting circuits 6. if can be rectified by authorised service engineers 7.Contact service engineer. as there is no recitification process from user part
yes it could ba the cable itself even, but i suspect more the tuner circuit or tuner itself may have bad solder connections. Here is another test for you to try, plug another dvd or vcr, or xbox etc. into the back, using one odf the inputs. See if this works like the built in dvd. if so it will be more likely bad connections in the tuner or surrounding circuit.
good luck.
