I don't know what the fix is but I have a SSC190 (Sylvania) manufactured in 2000 with the exact same symptoms. I actually had 2 of the same model numbers in at the same time. I swapped the defl. boards and the VCR mechanism and the symptoms did not change. I replaced the mode switch but no help. So the problem is on the VCR board. The problem reminds me of the Funai's a few years ago that had a weak LED but I tried that and no help. Please let me know if you find something. John.
