[TechAssist] Re: RCA VCR, Mod- VR692HF Recording Problem

David,

If he is using tapes a long time, he may have placed where the magnetic
coating has flaked off or damaged tape, either condition could allow
light source to activate an end sensor causing the unit to stop.  Don't
think the rewinder is a likely cause of problem.
