Fault and repair guide
No reel rotation
This is a very common problem which can have several causes. The first thing which fails is usually the reel idler assembly. Replacement units are readily available and can be fitted easily after removal of the cassette carriage. Interestingly the NX100 uses a double idler which is much more likely to fail than the one used in the VTC-5000 and related models. Also check for failure of the reel motor.No tuner input
This is usually caused by failure of the RF combiner / splitter unit. Unfortunately it is not easy to repair this unit.Further Information
