Hi all, looks like a great group here.
I have been using this one JVC S-VHS recorder for a number of years and
it may just be getting old.
I have been using it to record a 3 hour daily morning show. No problems
except for a few days ago.
The timer recording stopped before the three hours. I noticed it and
pressed the record button three times so that it would record for
another hour and automatically stop. I let it go and then noticed that
it stopped early as well.
The next day the three hour recording stopped at exactlly the same area
causing me to think that it was maybe a tape issue. I put in another
tape for the next mornings taping and it worked. I thought that was
that but then the next day (today) this tape also ended early by about
15 mins.
The first shut down tape of a few days ago, when played, would also
shut down the vcr at the area of the memory recording shut down. It
plays then makes a strange electrical vibration noise then shuts down.
I am playing todays tape and no shut downs at all - yet...
I am guessing that it is a serious problem and just need to find a new
machine.
thanks for any suggestions that might keep this one alive.
