Remedy
• Connect the mains lead to mains securely.
• Moisture condensation occurs. Turn the power off,
unplug the mains lead and leave the VCR to dry for
over one hour.
• The clock stops if the VCR is disconnected from the
mains for more than eight hours (SLV-ED60PS only) or
24 hours (SLV-ED60ME/MJ/SG only). Reset the clock
(and timer).
• Make sure the TV is set to the video channel. If you are
using a monitor, set it to video input.
• Set the PAL/MESECAM option in the SET UP MENU
according to your local colour system.
• Adjust the tracking with the TRACKING +/– buttons.
• Make sure the colour system is set to the system that
the tape was recorded in.
• The video heads are dirty (see below). Clean the video
heads using the Sony T-25CLD, T-25CLW or E-25CLDR
video head cleaning cassette. If these cleaning cassettes
are not available in your area, have the heads cleaned
at your nearest Sony service facility (a standard service
charge will be required). Do not use a commercially
available liquid type cleaning cassette other than
Sony’s, as they may damage the video heads.
• The video heads may have to be replaced. Consult
your local Sony service facility for more information.
• Adjust the vertical hold control on the TV or monitor.
• The tape is defective.
• If you made A/V connections, check the audio cable
connection.
• When you play a tape with the same sound recorded
on both the hi-fi and normal sound tracks, make sure
the AUDIO MIX option in the SET UP MENU is set to
OFF.
