er place where there are great

changes of temperature and

humidity.

- A humid place where the air Is thick with steam.

- When the TV/VCR was suddenly moved from an air-conditioned room to a hot and humid place.

windows ?

- Are there any obstacles between the Remote Control and the RemoteControf sensor ?

Such symptoms may occur when the input is set to AV INPUT and no signal is received at the video input terminals.

When a tape recorded by PAL systems of 3 times the normal speed is playback after fast forwarding or rewinding, the colour tends to fade out.
