    For some reason, my SL-HF2000 sometimes plays ßIII tapes at ßII speed, which means there’s briefly a sped-up playback, then the sound disappears, then the picture disappears and the counter stops advancing even while it’s playing. What do you think is the cause of this?

    2:35 - I noticed that, too! 8:04 - The blue gears on Sony VHS machines seem to break frequently. 11:43 - That is actually an LCD (liquid-crystal display) with a backlight, not VFD (vacuum fluorescent display). Sony used backlit LCDs on a few of their 8 mm VCRs, too. Most VCRs don't use them because without a backlight, they are really hard to read in a dark room, and with a backlight, they are too bright and distracting in a dark room. This VCR has a door that closes to hide it, so it is not a problem here. 14:01 - I felt the same way as a kid and a teen in the '80s and '90s -- the really high-end VCRs in electronics stores had all sorts of cool features... And then I would go home to use my family's humble two-head, mono VHS VCR. 😢 14:24 - The manual is available to read for free online, and it should list all the available features. 14:43 - "APC" standards for "Adaptive Picture Control", which Sony says "automatically improves recording and playback quality by adjusting the VCR to the condition of the video heads and tape." The SLV-R1000 seems to be a slightly reduced version of the SVO-2000. It lacks separate left and right recording-level controls, a headphone port and volume control, the key-inhibit control and light (like "local" on the GCS-50), and the "auto-repeat" switch. However, it gains a "Control L" port, and only requires a two-prong plug -- the SVO-2000 requires a three-prong plug. (Also, the words "Cable Box Control" on the back are spelled correctly. On the SVO-2000, they are misspelled.)

    Hey man, I know this is an older video and I'm not sure if you'll even see this, but I have a few questions. I'm having trouble finding a website to order parts from (specifically, belts) as my belts turned to goop as well. If nothing else, is it possible to use alternative belts with the same measurements? If so, where would one acquire them? Great video by the way, it's the only one that I've even been able to find on this model (mine is actually the 550, but similar enough to still be effective).

VHS hunting is my main focus, but My cousin gave me an odd box of Beta tapes, nearly 90 of them. 65 or so are all Dubbed blanks of a selection of films. I want to play them to try and figure out more. Perhaps this was a personal collection of someone that worked at a video store and simply just dubbed tapes of everything there he or she wanted.

      @@3800TType I was lucky enough to get an unopened Jurassic Park VHS last year, it's the Pan and Scan 4:3 version not the Letterbox Widescreen unfortunately. But anyway I feed the VCR into my flagship Pioneer Elite SC57 Receiver which upscales l and deinterlaces to 1080p60hz and then I send that to my Pioneer TV which upscales to 4k and it looks absolutely incredible, people don't believe it's a VHS. It stays in the original aspect the entire time with no distortion. Also running the VHS on my Panasonic 19micron HiFi VCR gives me a stereo signal that carries the Dolby Surround encoding and I decode it in my receiver up to matrix 9.1 or if I'm feeling nostalgic I'll do the native 4ch Dolby Surround Pro Logic mode but either way it sounds fantastic. VHS has limitations but through the right equipment it's not bad at all, just like anything, bad equipment is the enemy. Also I have this Steely Dan album on original cassette recorded using Dolby B NR HX Pro and it sounds like a CD, it's that good, I have done a blind listening test with my friends, they could not believe it was a tape. Dolby HX Pro was a Bang and Olufsen technology licensed by Dolby and it did something with bias and recording level to mask hiss and let me tell you it works.

However, if you press eject (even with no tape inside) it acts like it's trying to eject with the head mechanism. You press rewind or fast forward and the capstans move like there is a tape inside. You press play, it spins the head like it's playing. Is this a regulator issue or something else?
