Hi,

FYI, because of the replies I have received so far, I want everyone
to know that I use to repair TVs, VCRs, stereos, etc.

I do NOT have the SM for this VCR, and I have never serviced a VCR
(serviced many) with this issue.

To the best of my memory (which can be foggy) you must also program the
stop time. Perhaps find a copy of the owner's manual and re-read the
section about programming?

Hi,

My 1988 Panasonic PV-4800 VCR has an issue with Timer Recording.

I can set a time to make a recording, turn off the VCR and the Timer
indicator is lit. However, when the time to record arrives, the VCR
does NOT record. The Timer indicator is still lit.

I had tried this Timer Recording more than once with the same
results. Of course the tape is recordable (tab not removed).

Any ideas?

Thank You in advance, John
