Hi Wiz:

Thanks for your promt answer. Unfortuantely, I only have a Quick Start Guide for this player and I do not know what a Video Head is. Have taken the unit apart, but it is all Greek to me. Best regards, Ann

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!

Hi,

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

On an AIWA HV-MX100, black and white picture OK but why not color?

If the remote works then it works. You might be missing a few functions but I can't imagine that it's capable of switching to B&W. I might be wrong but I think that the TV needs checking.

Hello, the tape is stuck and power won't come on. It worked fine and just shut off all of a sudden when we were rewinding. Maybe a fuse blew? How do I get to that or how do I open the front to get the tape...

check the tip in my profile

Aiwa HV-MX1: tape won't eject from VCR and it switches off.

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.

AIWA VCR model HV-MX1problem

with the unit unplugged take the case off and look on both sides of where the front of the tape would set, you will see two towers, one is a light and the other a receiver,check to see they are plugged in and not obstructed.Also there is a switch that the tape pushes when its all the way in which might be stuck,click it a couple times with your finger.This might help, there are other more complicated things which could cause this problem but mechanical problems are more likely.
