Help me how many times the 1 amp fuse in my Emerson VCR is burning and
getting open.
Some forums say check regulator q603.
Any body any tips any ckt diagrams?
That would help a lot?

Well if all functions operate normally when the fuse is replaced I would be
considering the rating of the fuse.
1 amp seems fairly low to me if it is in the primary supply for the VCR.
Perhaps you could experiment with a 1 amp 'slow blow' fuse, or mebbe a 2
amp.
Is there any possibility of a wrong fuse being in there initially ?
It has been my personal experience that 1A fuses seem somewhat unreliable,
in any case a fuse will not protect electronics, so there would seem to be
little reason to hold back on a larger fuse if all functions are normal when
operating. Can you source the fuse value from the manufacturer ?

Excuse me? "in any case a fuse will not protect electronics"?

Maybe not, but then I suppose they just put those darn fuses in there to
create service calls when they blow for no reason, huh?

If the fuse is the proper type, then something is failing in the VCR

It may be marginal now, but you can be sure eventually, it will be
totally bad and then should you put a higher amp fuse in there and the
VCR catches fire, then what?

When you say the fuse is burning, do you mean that the body or the ends
of the fuse itself is getting hot? If so, you have a high resistance
connection in the fuseholder.
