I've got two VHS players. One works fine.

The other is a Philips VR 608. Been used very little. It was bought
purely to play NTSC VHS tapes - my main machine, a Panasonic S-VHS
wouldn't.

On powering up, get the welcome screen. Can select the setup menu too.
Connected via SCART, selecting that input routes the TV video and
audio back to the TV. Tape loads and runs - but no pic or audio.
Checked the combi head with a baby bud and AF spray - perfectly clean
- as is the entire inside.

With something that age I'd suspect the PS, a SMPS. But no test points
marked on the PCB. But since the electronics mostly work and the
motors etc too, could there be one supply not working?


Is there an output to SCART control?
