What was the original complaint? Time lapse vcrs dont necessarily play at VHS standard speeds, and even when they do, some of the video heads dont necessarily have the proper azimuth to play VHS. The error code may just be telling you that there is no video input signal. The fact that your 2 hour tape played tells you that most of the circuits are working. Now you need to make recordings at the various speeds and play them back. Time lapse heads can wear out in a year. Worn heads cause more trouble at the longer recording times.
