There is only one button for record. That button has a light that comes on when in record mode. That light comes on as it should when in record mode. I am injecting color bar signal at video input. The signal is not getting to the head amp pack, board.It is being lost several stages back in the video processing IC. The function lock is an override that renders some of the functions inoperable during record mode.Basically to keep some one from coming along and interrupting the record process inadvertently. I did check that function Paul J Silverman <greentron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Does it just do nothing when the record button is pressed? Maybe record and play must be pressed at the same time. also make sure that your cassette does not have the protect tab broken out. Also take a look at the safety tab switch. I believe that unit has a function lock so record might just be locked out.

I have checked all the supply voltages and traced signal from Video In to IC 3001 pin 7. I have followed it in and out and around till pin 22, I lose it. I have checked the voltage on every pin and found nothing abnormal. I hope someone works on these and may have had the same problem. I don't want to replace unnecessary parts if I can help it. It seems like the IC is the culprit but not sure. BTW, it plays back normally.
