I went in to menu then channel set and tried to set channels. When i set the channels, and tried to record i still got a blank screen. The tv i have does not have a tv/vcr button, it has a aux channel. When i turn the vcr on, it displays in the aux channel. The vcr is plugged directly into the tv not the cable.
-   I havehad this VCR for 9 years, and have never been able to get this VCR to recognize the channels on my cable provider. I have carefully read and reread the installation instructions, double, triple, and quadruple checked my setup, and the machine steadfastly refuses to acknowledge the existence of any incoming signal from the cable. I can feed the same 75ohm coax into my Sanyo VCR, and have no problems. I can also feed the same signal to every TV I own, and have no problems. Only the Aiwa fails to detect the signal. This is not a huge problem, since I mainly use this VCR for playing European VHS tapes, but every time I've wanted to use it to record from the TV I have always encountered this failure.
If you have a bad or fuzzy picture when viewing tapes on VCR then you need a new video drum. I think you can buy another that is for your brand on the internet. More VCR Repair -

Hi and thanks for your help. Didn't use it for 4 months, it worked fine before. Now I have a green distorted menu and the taped images are unwatchable (dark and distorted). Is it a problem with the heads ? I really need this VCR to transfer my tapes on DVD. Ty
