- Panasonic PV-4800 VCR Timer Recording Issue - 2 Updates
| jaugustine@verizon.net: Jun 08 08:08AM -0400 Hi, My 1988 Panasonic PV-4800 VCR has an issue with Timer Recording. I can set a time to make a recording, turn off the VCR and the Timer indicator is lit. However, when the time to record arrives, the VCR does NOT record. The Timer indicator is still lit. I had tried this Timer Recording more than once with the same results. Of course the tape is recordable (tab not removed). Any ideas? Thank You in advance, John |

Then, turn off and unplug the unit for a couple of hours to reboot it. That would be lame-idea #2. Lastly, make sure that the VCD "knows" there is a tape in the machine. The tab on the tape is one thing. But the arm/indicator/device on the VCR that reads the tab (to a microswitch?) may be non-functional, worn or dirty. That would be lame-idea #3. About it for now.
