There is no playback picture, or the playback picture is noisy or contains streaks.

During a still or slow motion picture, the picture may contain some vertical jitter when using a TV which has an automatic vertical hold control.

Correction

• Check that the AC power cord is correctly connected to an AC outlet.

• Check that the VCR is turned on.

Correction

• Check the connections between the VCR, the antenna and the TV.

If the top of your playback picture waves back and forth excessively.

During playback, “USE CLEANING CASSETTE” appears on the screen and “U:01” appears on the display window.

• Because the VCR playback signal is not as stable as an off-the-air TV signal, the top of your TV screen may be bent or unstable during playback. To solve this problem, slowly turn the horizontal hold control on your TV to correct the wavy picture. If your TV does not have the horizontal hold control or adjusting the control does not help, contact your local TV service center.

• The video heads are dirty. Use a head cleaner.
