Panasonic FS100 Help Required
I have a Panasonic FS100 SVHS Video recorder, with a problem. Programs recorded in SVHS don't play well, while VHS is ok. I've heard of a chip that needs changing, so any idea where I can get one, what its called?
thanks, Tripod |

Please describe what you mean by "don't play well" -- Tim Mitchell Tim, After about 20 minutes of playing, the picture starts rolling, colour fads to B&W and then disappears, with only sound playing. I can replace an SVHS tape with a VHS one, which plays fine, but SVHS about 20mins. I did read somewhere else on the web about the need to replace an I.C. I have the skills to do it, but not sure which chip, or where to find a replacement, hard I am sure! That isn't one of the (several) problems I've had. It sounds like a heat related problem. I would suspect a problem in the power supply. The power supplies run very hot in these units which tends to dry out the electrolytic caps. Try replacing the all the electrolytic caps in the power supply module, there are not that many. -- Tim Mitchell |
