Can not tape from cable, blue screen
posted by charles 210 on Feb 11, 2008
RCA VR509. another web page put my model and VR348 on the same line, so hoping they are somewhat alike. I had no problem taping until I
hook onto cable. I changed my VCR to channel 3 to go with channel 3
on the cable imput. So I can turn on the VCR and see the channels change on cable and have a picure. But I can not change channels on the
VCR as if I wanted to tape CH 7 and watch CH3. And when I press rec
on the remote, I am not taping anything. Just snow. So I can not tape
anything. Previous taped items playback just fine.

If I leave the VCR on channel 3, I can watch any channel that the
cable will get. But I can tape nothing. in the days before cable,
I could change channels on the VCR and view different channels.
But the auto channel on the VCR only brings up Ch 3 and Ch8.
When I see what is on CH 8, it is a blue screen.

GuruIf you have a cable box connected now, leave the VCR on channel 3 all the time and use the channels from the cable box.
The way this should be connected is cable in to cable box and cable out to VCR, VCR output to TV IN.
Hope this works for you.
