Why is my Sony VCR picture not clear?
- D
  David LozanoAug 22, 2025
  Several factors can cause a blurry picture on your Sony VCR. It could be due to the RF channel not being set to OFF if you're using both Scart and aerial cables. Existing broadcasts might be interfering with the VCR, so try resetting the RF channel output. Adjust the tracking using the TRACKING +/– buttons. The video heads may be dirty, so clean them with a Sony T-25CLD, E-25CLDR, or T- 25CLW video head cleaning cassette. In some cases, the video heads may need replacement, consult your local Sony service facility for more information.

What to do if the VPS/PDC function does not operate properly on my Sony VCR?
- C
  Clayton GrayAug 31, 2025
  If the VPS/PDC function on your Sony VCR isn't working correctly, verify that the clock and date are set accurately. Also, double-check that the VPS/PDC time you've set is correct, as there might be a mistake in the TV programme guide. Note that if the broadcast you wanted to record did not send the good VPS/PDC information, the VCR will not start recording. Poor reception may also alter the VPS/PDC signal, preventing the VCR from starting recording.
