Samsung VR4607: Philips vr 475 VCR no picture and no sound

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 04:03:31 -0700

Recently purchased. Hooked it up with a scart, and got some signal (tape time and other text). All the mechanics work fine except there’s no picture nor sound on any tape. Tried cleaning the head and everything else twice and got picture and sound but very distorted. Tried tracking the picture to get better quality but then after I replaced the tape inside I inevitably lost everything. When I start any tape for a split second there’s some picture and sound and then all the same. So it’s not a problem of the cable as I see text on the tv, I tried cleaning the head a lot. It’s not the problem of the tape as I tried many when there’s confirmed video and I saw video earlier. I don’t know what to do anymore please help

Samsung VR4607: Why won't my Samsung VHS HQ VR-5607 video cassette recorder turn on?

Tue, 22 Aug 2017 02:40:53 -0700

Hello

Today my girlfriend and I were given an old Samsung VHS HQ VR-5607 video cassette recorder and some old tapes. Before we were given the VHS player, it was turned on to see if it functioned and it did. After bringing it back to our apartment, I plugged it in and turned it on after my girlfriend couldn't get it to work. Then, upon inserting the first tape we wished to watch, there was that brief white TV static followed by the VHS player shutting off. Any help would be much appreciated. It may also be noteworthy that my knowledge with this old of technology is very limited. Thank you.
