OK So I got the playback mechanism working like its supposed to, but for some reason I'm not getting any video output of any sort out of this VCR, I have it hooked up to my Flat Panel TV and all I get is a Blue Screen out of the TV with the VCR playing and I don't even get any white noise/snow from the tuner section, and I'm not sure what's going on with it. I was thinking at first that maybe the RF Modulator inside the VCR might of been bad so I tried hooking it up through the A/V output jacks and even that wasn't giving any video output so I'm wondering what's going on or what I should look at next.
EDIT: I hooked the VCR to my old Sony Trinitron TV in my basement and the VCR seems to be functioning like it should except I don't get any video feed from the tape when I hit play all I get is a blank black screen which its almost like the A/V mute function which kicks in when the tape is initially being loaded doesn't kick itself off (because I know that when most VCRs go to play tape initially the screen is blank at first for a split second before the video from the tape kicks in) but its almost as if that initial video and audio blanking doesn't stop like its supposed to.
Any ideas as to what might of happened with the VCR, and where I should look next?
