Help with Mitsubishi VCR
I have a Mitsubishi HS-U110 Vcr which is over 10 years old but has
not been used all that much. It records and plays very well but often I must unplug it several times before I can use it. I will turn it off and occasionally it will turn itself back on. Nothing will be running, but the display lights will all be on. Sometimes I will attempt to load a tape and it will load and then eject for several attempts. When it is loaded, it will indicate on the display, Tape In, then Tape Out, Tape In, for maybe a minute. Then I can play a tape normally, but if I pause it for a commercial, after maybe 30 seconds, it will start rapidly displaying the various cycles (rewind, ffwd, ...) , and I must unplug it to get it back. Now just recently, when I eject a tape, I can hear the motor running for about 5 seconds before shutting off. I cleaned the mode switch but that did not help. Any help would be appreciated. |

Help with Mitsubishi VCR
Hi,
I have a HS-U45 someone dropped off to look at. Don't have any of the details yet, but I will keep my eye on this thread. Perhaps I can get some hints on the common faults on these guys.

Help with Mitsubishi VCR
As I remember better, the rapid switching on the display started about
5-6 years ago. I was using the Mitsubishi along with another vcr to edit out commercials on movies that I had taped. I was doing a lot of start, pause, resume, rewind in the course of editing. I was using the frame advance as well, and then this started happening. I have used it for years by unplugging it to get around the rapid flashing of the various cycles. The turning on by itself just started recently and usually occurs in hot weather. Normally it does not do this.
