had this nice VCR i sold to a customer

i got it back and tested it.
through the line outputs it seems to work fine
through the RF CH4 modulated output, its a blue screen
It seems the modulator is putting out a carrier,
but no information. If i do the TV/VCR switch, i can see
the TV channels OK on the TV with pass through mode.
I don't have the manual on this beast.
I checked the menu, and there is a way to disable the RF mod
in the set up menu. I double checked it, and its enabled.
I even toggled it for good measure.

This does not sound like a modulator issue, but i am kind of
stumped on this without further information. Anybody got any ideas
on this or have a PDF manual on the HS-U580?

Hi Bob,

I'd check the caps first. Maybe a few are leaking and wreaking havoc on the
circuit board. Is the audio missing as well? Just to make sure I understand
your problem, is the screen also blue when playing a tape as well as going
through the tuner?

yes, its blue with no audio on both VCR tuner and VCR tape.
But they both work on the Video line output jacks.
