Good Afternoon all. The VHS player above is at least 25 years old and I can\'t find instructions or a remote for it. I owned it when I was in Abu Dhabi in the 70\'s and I have at least a hundred cassettes that I copied from what television services existed then. Some of these tapes are almost perfect and are extremely interesting, with only the subtitles being in Arabic I would rather have English, of course.
Sometimes, the screen is almost perfect but then for another program on the same cassette., it is covered with \"snow\" with a concentration in the center of the screen when it is at its worst. There is nothing wrong with the tapes in this case, but it may be that it needs to be switched to a different standard or tape speed. There are only a few basic controls and this could be a feature of the remote control setting it up and the handbook to help do this.
I cannot find any user manual and all the remotes are for other machines. Can anyone help like someone who had one and kept the old manual and remote, Please?
I have over 100 tapes that I am trying to evaluate, but this is a very basic problem that is telling me that the only cause is the absence of these spare parts. It is a lovely little device, looks hardly used inside and could give years of service still. I think that most of my tapes were created on other make recorders.
Thanks for any help. Happy New year to all
