"Joe" <joebalamand@rocketmail.com>: Sep 15 11:00PM +0100 I have a Panasonic NVSD240 that plays tapes perfectly well with brilliant picture. However, when powered on and before inserting a tape, it shows 'no signal' (no blue screen or similar as other VCRs - TV says 'no signal'). Also it does not respond to its original remote control. The remote itself is fully functional and I tested every button in it with an IR detector. Consequently the clock display keeps flashing 0:00 and I am unable to set the time or access the VCR menu as all of these functions require the remote, with no alternative buttons on the VCR itself. The connection to TV is via SCART (this UK model has no video out RCAs). To reiterate, there is excellent picture when tape plays. Just 'no signal' when tape is stopped and no VCR menu. No response to remote either. Can you help?

Wouldn't hurt to confirm it's solder connections are OK, though.   A technician can check the functional status of the module using a multimeter and an oscilloscope.   On an older model, Panasonic very possibly won't have the part available any more. There are many types of IR receivers and they are generally NOT interchangeable. If one gets lucky an identical part can sometimes be found in some other unit, for example a "scrapper" that a repair shop might have laying around.     Mark Z.

Bunch of junk as far as I am concerned. > Well, OK I never used a really high end one but I ain't spending $400,000 Tek DSOs update at something like 100K traces per second in shotr-record mode (the scope only records one screen-full per trigger). These ran $4K new, and are available on the used market for about $1K. They are pretty good, we have about 4 of them at work. For a lot of work, a plain analog CRO is all you need, but when you need to capture a one-time event, like a power supply starting up or tripping out, then a digital scope is great. You can even capture the signal from BEFORE the trigger event, which can be totally priceless.   Jon
