Remedy

• Connect the mains lead securely.

• The FUNCTION LOCK switch is set to “ON.” Set it to “OFF.”
• Turn off the power and disconnect the AC power cord. After about

one minute, connect the AC power cord and turn on the VCR.

• Press the CL button. Reset the clock.
• Moisture condensation has occurred. With the power left on, wait

for at least one hour for the moisture to evaporate.

• Insert the cassette with the tape window upward.
• Another tape is already in the tape compartment.
• Moisture condensation has occurred. With the power left on, leave

the VCR to dry for at least one hour.

• A cassette is inserted at an angle. Insert it properly.

• The menu appears on the screen. Press MENU to make it disappear.
• No recording on the tape.
• The video heads are dirty. Clean the video heads.

• Disconnect the DV cable and connect it again.
• INPUT SELECT is set to “L1” or “L2.” Select “DV.”
• The other VCR is not playing back.

• The video heads are dirty (see below). Clean the video heads using

the Sony video head cleaning cassette. Do not use a commercially
available wet-type cleaning cassette, as it may damage the video
heads. (page 52)

• The video heads may have to be replaced. Consult your local Sony

dealer for more information.

• The tape is defective. Use a new tape.
• Use Sony brand DVCAM tapes.

• Press INPUT SELECT to select the correct input.
• If you connect cables to both audio/video jacks and S VIDEO

connector of LINE-1 IN/LINE-2 IN, signals from the S VIDEO
connector take priority. (“S” lights in the display window.) To select
signals from the LINE-1 IN video jack, set “L1 IN VIDEO” in the SET
UP MENU to “NORM.”
To select signals from the LINE-2 IN video jack, disconnect the cable
from the jack you do not use.
