You might try to clean the heads, You can buy some acetone at any walmart, Kmart ect…Use a foam swab to clean the heads on the chrome cylinder that spins. (Do not use cotton swabs, it will get caught in the heads.) It has 4 small windows on the cylinder that are the record and play back heads. Do not use a lot of acetone at one time, just a bit. Let it dry for 5 to 10 min’s. Then try to record and play back something. Sometimes it takes more than one cleaning. But.. Always let it dry good before putting in a tape or it will clog the heads worst. I have found that cleaning tapes only work if the heads are not very dirty. A manual cleaning is the best. Radio shack may carry the foam swabs. I’m not sure but electronic supplies do. Hope this is helpful.

in Mar.89 I bought a VCR Model HS-U50. Works great BUt a tape is now stuck in the cassette loading slot and while the Power button comes on and I try to eject the tape, since it wont come out or eject, the Power goes out and shuts off. How do I get the defective tape out???? If this can only be done by a dealer, does anyone know of a dealer or service/repair centre In Ottawa, Ontario, canada that can fix this for me.

panasonic vcr super drive MOd NV-SD-400EA - looking for a 'felt' wheel that runs against the large recording spool inside the vcr - this appears to pick up excess tape residue to allow clear showing of video tapes.

I have an old VCR Model vrc4125. It has some age to it. Anwyay, I noticed there is only 1 audio-in terminal (along with 1 audio out). I am trying to connect the red and white audio RCA plugs from dvd player to this vcr. Do I need a splitter (adapter) 2 female rca plug to one male?
