Hi All,
I have a JVC S-5990AM VCR. I bought it 2nd hand and thanks to the SCI
Electronics pdf guide, have cleaned the heads satisfactorily and
improved the picture tracking by adjusting the heads and rollers.
However.
I'm not sure if it's through my "tuning" or it was an existing
problem, but the counter doesn't work accurately when I rewind tapes.
Generally it doesn't count as the tape starts rewinding and then
'wakes up' after a little while (usually 2-7 minutes of tape, so that
when the cassette is fully rewound the counter reads somewhere between
2 and 7+ minutes instead of 0:00:00.
In forward direction it seems fine.
Any ideas?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
I must say I find Panasonic and Sony machines far more intuitive/
logical to operate, but it is so hard to find a good quality VCR these
days, I want to try and stick with this one if I can.
Many thanks, J
