Roger, I think this will apply. From Tech Repair CD: QUASAR\VV1220A\PLAYBACK PICTURE IS DIM TO BLACK AND E-E VIDEO IS SOMETIMES\AFFECTED BUT NOT AS SEVERELY.\\\IC3001- PN #VCRS0147.\\\\\\\\\ Jeff Dougherty Intrepid Video TV/VCR 263 S Front St Steelton PA 17113 fax...717-564-4952 www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net ----- Original Message ----- From: <rogerfixit@xxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2003 11:31 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Quasar TV/VCR V V1220- weak color in Play Quasar V V 1220 Combo - Original complaint - no rewind and Dark picture/color in TV mode. Fixed the rewind problem and turned up screen control to brighten pix. Also, adjusted pix with remote. Still have problem with color in Playback -it is there but is too light. Think it might be lighter in SP than EP. It is a 2-head rotary pick-up head drum so the difference SP to EP may not be actual. I suspect the heads are worn OR a problem with the IC3001- the infamous VCRS pedastal mount IC. Do not have a head drum to sub; I could pull the IC and check the caps. If IC was bad, would it affect the Tuner signal?? Don't think so. Of course the heads would not affect tuner signal Roger G.
