Your VCR may have a power supply fault to start with. Without detailed
references to voltages from the power supply to start with, this would be
difficult to guess at.

You may have a warn head, or you may be lucky, and it is a bit dirty. The
alignment should not be off, unless you messed with it. When changing the
head, you would have to do the guide alignment. You would need a scope,
calibration tape, and most likely the service manual.

Hi folks,
I am new to this forum and have 2 specific problems I am hoping to get your
expert help with. I have 2 of these combo units.
One of them turns on fine, but after a while turns back off automatically.
Am I correct in assuming that its the VCR portion that is making it do so?
Could it be that the roller guides (supply or take-up) are stuck and that is
what is making the power turn off? Or is it the reel sensors?
The 2nd unit DVD works fine, and the vcr loads fine and plays fine except
that the picutre looks like a dirty head for some cassettes and some will
play just fine with crystal clear picture. Tracking has no effect. Is this a
misaligned head, and if so, how do I fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Manzur.
