No picture and no
sound
• Check that the Video Recorder
plug has been plugged in and
switched on at a mains wall
socket and that the television has
been plugged in and switched on.
• Check the aerial lead is
undamaged and securely
connected to the correct sockets
in both the television and the
Video Recorder.

video channel on your television.
• If you are using a SCART
connection, check that the cable
is secure and that the correct AV
channel is selected on your
television.
No playback or a poor
picture
• Try a different video cassette. If the
problem is resolved, the problem
may have been the cassette itself.
• Try using the tracking buttons TRK
+ or - to reduce the amount of
visible interference.
• If the cassette contains a
recording that you have recently
made from the television, the
television channels may not be
tuned to the Video Recorder
correctly.

television set. If you cannot receive
a picture through your aerial, the

has been tuned to the television
programmes properly.

cassette to see if the safety tab
used to prevent recording has
been removed.
• Check that the signal being
received by the television is of
reasonable quality.
A video tape cannot be
inserted

in the Video Recorder already.
