Home | First message in thread | Previous messageHi, Most of the video noise has cleared up, but I am still having an intermittent problem with tape "skipping". For example, if I record a one hour program, several times during playback, the tape will skip or momentarily flutter and the counter will lose time. As a result, the one hour program will read as 56-57 minutes on the tape counter. I tried various VHS tapes (old and new) but the problem persists. Years ago I recall making an adjustment on a vintage VCR which I believe fixed a similar problem. I think it was a screw which controlled the tape tension across the heads? Do you know of any such adjustments/fixes for this JVC unit. Thanks, Jack C.

Adjusting the Tension Arm will increase/decrease tape tension. The Tension Arm is located just to the left of the Supply Reel on the extreme left side of the deck (looking from the front). The adjustment is made by varying the tension on the Tension Arm Band which wraps around the Supply Reel. You are correct in that there is a screw which provides this adjustment. Also, consider cleaning the heads and everything in the tape path (including the Control Head Assy). Watch the tape as it passes over the Control Head to be sure the tape movement is consistent and doesn't fluctuate. Eric |
