Sanyo VCR VWM 685

[Mike]

Hello,

I have a Sanyo VCR VMW 685.
Problem with a unit is once the tape is in and play button is pressed
VCR shuts down by itself. Any suggestions what to look for?

Thanks,
Mike

Could be lots of things. Capstan motor not turning, no takeup, bad sensing
of tape motion, no drum rotation, no drum PG signal, etc, etc, etc.
