Have you tried the Sony Website? They often have free PDF's of them.

Don't have a solution but I have exactly the same problem. Pls let me know if you figure it out.

Try a universal remote to determine if it is your remote or you combos IR reciever.

Problem solved. I went online and found a pdf file for the Sony SLV-R1000 manual. This manual works just as well for the Sony SLV-2000. I'm a happy camper...

It is the electrolytic capacitors on the power supply board gone bad. It is fairly simple to remove the board. Look at it this way. Even if you break it taking it out, you would have thrown away the vcr anyway. I simply experimented with mine and it payed off. I just replaced mine in the exact same model vcr you have(slv-690hf). The vcr would not power up. I replaced c202, c207, c109, and c208 and it works perfect again. They are the smallest ones. I'm pretty sure it was only one that was bad, but i replaced four of them just to make sure i got the bad one. You cannot tell by looking at them that they are bad. I just searched the internet and read where it's usually the smallest electrolytic capacitors on the power supply board in sony vcrs, that usually go bad. Sure enough, that was the problem. It is fairly simple to take the board out and do it, if you have time, patience, a little bit of know how, and a soldering iron. I used some capacitors from radio shack and some out of an old stereo crossover i had that did'nt work for the replacements. The capacitors from radio shack have a wire coming out of each end instead of both coming out of the same end. I just simply bent one wire over the top to make it work and cut them the same leangth. Be sure you use the same uf and voltage for the replacements.

you have to select to switch from comopsit to s-vhs for the video input in your sony slv -n55 to get the video reached to it regards please don't forget to rate ,thx

Check with the remote in the menu section on the VCR the audio and make sure its not in sap
