VCR worked fine yesterday and today wasn't recording when I checked. Cable and tv are set to channgel 3. When I turn on VCR the tv program "freeze frames" and as soon as I turn off VCR, tv goes back to normal. Can't even get the vcr menu/action to show on tv screen so am really at a loss. When I try to play a tape, REP shows up in window which normally would show PLAY. Any suggstions are appreciated. I did talk to a tech person at Panasonic toll free number and that was less than helpful.
If the vcr is on warranty take it back to the supplier.good luck obviously you will have to replace the VCR head.

Additional info on problem. Phillips Magnavov tv PS1944C125
Scientific Atlanta Exporer 3250 converter with Comcast provider and Panasonic VCR PV V45255. Have switched out cable boxes and that did not resolve the problem. Took VCR back to place of purchase and worked fine when checked by technician. Original set up was to be able to record one channel(usually on timer)and to watch another tv channel and that worked fine until Monday. Cable goes IN vcr; VCR OUT to cable and cable OUT to tv. Can't get the vcr menu to display on BLUE screen for programing. Recording only produces snow. Again, when VCR is turned on it FREEZE FRAMES whatever is showing on tv.
