Sluggish tape transport

Internally the VCR contains many drive belts which are used in the mechanics of tape transport. With age these belts become slack causing malfunctions and when this happens the whole lot should be replaced.

No E-E sound

This is usually caused by failure of the TA7607AP FM sound decoder IC. It is IC002 on board U001.

Failure to load a tape

The cassette carriage can fail to operate. This is caused by breakage of the plastic gears in mechanism. When this happens they have to be replaced.

Tape fails to thread up
