RCA VCR PSVR61 (by Toshiba (?)) Problem - Willl take tape and load. If FF or REW is pressed, will function OK. Hit 'Stop' - try REW or FF - mech sounds like it is running but no tape movement and ERROR comes up in display. Unit goes into a slow rewind mode for about 30 seconds and no buttons function. Tape guides unload; unit powers down. Upon powering up, tape loads and will play or FF/REW. Will go into Play normally. Can hit STOP and then go back to Play - no problem- but will ERROR on trying REW/FF. Can do SEARCH functions in play mode - no problem. Normally, with these symptoms, I would accuse the mode switch. But in this unit. looks like the mode select is of the optical interrupt type selected by the cam. Resoldered the sensors but no better. Roger G.
