Blinking red means recording motion or just overall recording all the time. If it's Blinking and your tired of looking at it put black electrical tape over it
If it's Beeping it's got to be something under SETTINGS then AUDIO or OPTIONS or SOUNDS...?
Hi, You might have a tape in the VCR that has the 'record tab' broken-out, prohibiting recording. IF you want to record, eject the tape and put a piece of scotch tape over the missing square tab on the bottom corner of the VHS tape. Good luck and let me know if that works for you.
I'm pretty sure the auto-reverse is NOT supposed to work during recording. What would be the point since it only records in one direction?
And I'm pretty sure there's only one reverse sensor, usually to the left of the heads and not necessarily on a tension arm. The sensor foil is supposed to be on the non-oxide side of the tape so it will adhere better and never contact the heads.
This picture of a GX-635 shows a typical transport ...
There's a knob for how the auto reverse. Is it set correctly? I believe infinite forward / backward play is possible if you have the knob set properly, a sensor foil on the tape and the tape counter set to 0000 at the beginning of the recording.
MacroVision and other copy protection systems are put into store bought tapes and discs of movies and shows, and are read by your recording equipment. Once it reads this, it stops recording.
Does the screen turn red before it stops? This is one of the indications that MacroVision is stopping you.
there should be a little tab on the tape that can be moved (the one on my tape is red) if it is closed it stops the tape from being able to record anything and if it is open you should not see the protection on the screen
had the same problem, it seems to do fine without a tape in it :so I took the tape in and out a few times and I guess the alighnment was better so it works for Now..So Give it a try
Hit your camera several times with a flat hand (bottom, tape side). Its strange but it solved it for a lot of people. Firmly smack the bottom and then put the battery back on and give a it a shot.
the capstan motor of the camera is not running that why the power
display is blinking and when you eject the tape there a portion of the
ribbon that left..it is a poor connection of the capstan motor to the
main board of the camera....
