JVC HR-S9800U shutting off, help!
Hello:
I have a JVC HR-S9800U that I bought used a couple years back. It's a great machine and has been working great. I had it unplugged from the power as I have only been using it occasionally. Just today it started acting up where it will play a tape for 5-10 minutes, then simply just shut off. When it shuts off, I noticed that all of the settings go back to factory default when I power it back on. I have tried unplugging the VCR from the outlet and let it sit for about 30 minutes, but it's still doing this. Has anybody else experienced this and know of any other solutions? I really appreciate the help and feedback!! Thank you very much... -- Chris |

Thank you very much... -- Chris I just wanted to add one more observation... it seems to only shut off when I play one particular tape. I put in another tape and it works fine! Now I'm confused as to why one tape would cause the VCR to shut off, while the other does not. One note, the tape that is causing it to shut off is quite old, probably close to 25 years old, but it's in good condition. Thanks again.... -- Chris |

Try doing a complete FF and rewind of that old tape. If it still does it, toss it. If you *really* need what's on that tape, try playing it in another VCR. If it works, record a copy of it ON A NEW TAPE on your VCR. I tried that and it seemed to help a little, it played for about 30 minutes then the VCR turned itself off again. Unfortunately I am trying to capture this tape to save the footage. It plays fine in another cheap VCR, I was just hoping to use the JVC VCR since it's a better machine for capturing with much better quality. I always thought the JVC models were better with older tapes, it doesn't make much sense as to why the machine turns itself off. If you have any further ideas I am up for trying anything at this point. Thanks again... -- Chris |

Sorry bout that UCLAN, didnt see that you already suggested this. UCLAN is correct. Also if its very important, you could transplant the innards , basically the two hubs and tape into another shell. |
