In customers Main Menu, under Functions, the settings for "SQPB"-Playback (S-VHS Quasi Playback) can be set to "ON" / "OFF" or "AUTO" (Standard ="AUTO"). In case of fault "SQPB"-setting will be set to "ON". This will effect higher FM- range (in respect to S-VHS range) but at VHS playback some signal noises which are over VHS range may create spikes in pic (related to tape material).

Check if this screw is present and if it is well tig The /01 version of the VR268 is without PDC.The commercially sold set in the Netherlands with PDC is the /02 version.

Press buttons "SPEED-UP" and "SPEED-DOWN" while switching on power supply. By doing so, the data stored by the customer, is erased (Programmnumbers, time, year etc). See also page 2-1 of service Manual VR642/647/747 - NORA 6/7. Modify following components : R 3842 was 3,3 kOhm - becomes 2,7 kOhm (4822 051 20272).

STP3NA60F1 chopper FET s/c, also check/replace D6160 1N4006 & dry joints around R3159 When recording or playing back using the long play mode it is possible that the above models may prematurely eject the tape. The reason for this eject taking place is associated with the amplitude of the tacho signals WTAR and WTAL. The problem can be ove Some Programme listings do not support this method of setting theTimer. No problem when pressing "PAUZE" during "PLAY": Pin 7 of IC7356 (TDA8136), voltage = 11,8 V during PLAY = 8,8..9,4 V during REC. Replace IC7356. Pin 7 is now 12 V during REC and PLAY. Dry joints between P1 & PSU pcb Check/replace IC7405 on KCP panel TDA4710 - 4822 209 61671 315mA Wickman fuse 1216 supplies display o/c Check supply voltage + 5,2 Volt; this can be easily measured on the PCB-fuse 1001 on the CHROMA PROCESSING PCB. If this voltage is far below 5,2 Volt, check then this voltage also on the supply-unit. Clean carefully the connection points of connector SM1 This fault was caused by regulator 7356 on the family P.C.B. The 12 volts line was low and unable to supply enough current. If the voltages are too low, replace the capacitor C2112 (100 uF - 385 V codenumber, 4822 124 41556). If the supply is not oscillating at all, check capacitor C2114, and replace it if necessary by a new one (22 uF - 35 V codenumber, 5322 124 41431). If display flickers at dimmer position 5 (maximum brightness), than replace PTC's 3103 and 3109 on the supply module by another type with codenumber 4822 116 40261. Ensure that the PTC's do not touch each other after mounting. Adjust R3390 (PBL) again on 40 mVolt +/- 0.5 DB. by means of HIFI testcassette. See Service Manual of VR632, 732, 733 and 833 page 3-3 chapter 2.6.2. Remove connector from cable of erase-head and solder the wires directly on the erasehead. Check also whether metal-flakes are present in the flatcable connection of the audio-sync head.Note: touching the wires can already hide the complaint!

If these tooth-wheels rattle-over-each-other during fast forward, replace following components: p Check/replace C 2082 (5322 126 10223; DECK electronics). See Service Manual page 3-15 Check gearwheel (Pos.20/2; 4822 443 63946) on right flap. When switching on the power supply, time and date appear slowly on the display. Also the ':' between hours and minutes flickers rather slowly.Solution: Check whether the erase-oscillator is active. If so, these signals radiate via the CTL-head and might Replace the Lamps along with the Lamp Holders. Service Code 4822 255 30232. Replace kit 4822 310 31954.

Output switches automatically to Y/C

When the VCR is connected to the EXT-2 SCART of a TV that supports easylink, the output of the VCR is automatically switched to Y/C to perform the best picture quality. This setting cannot be overruled. Therefore it is necessary to use a FULL SCART CABLE Resolder 2012, replace switching transistor. REMARKS: Bad soldering of 2012, therefore frequency too high and 7040 and resistor burned. Replace 7022; if still not OK, resolder 5006, 7030, 7027, 7032. It is not possible to switch on the VCR with the Remote Control if thelatter has been switched-off by means of the stand-by button on the VCR. Switch-on the VCR by means of the stand-by button. This phenomena can be caused by a bad contact between the turbo drive mechanism and the family board. The mechanism is grounded by the cental ground-screw, which is mounted at the bottomside of the set. Check if this screw is present and if it is well tig Replace fuse and shuttle knob on front flap. REMARKS : There can be defective jog/shuttles where in case the shuttle ring is moved to the right and a pressure is put on the jog, there is a short circuit between +5V and ground. Remove glue under 2623. Glue under 2623 is conductive. Remove glue under 2350 and 2348 Level of pin 19, 7340 is varying because of conductive glue under 2350 and 2348. It is not possible to switch on the VCR with the Remote Control if the latter has been switched-off by means of the stand-by button on the VCR. Switch-on the VCR by means of the stand-by button.
