I'm assuming this is a AG-DS555. Are the tapes you are trying to play recorded at EP speed? These editing VTRs only support SP speed playback. I would not be surprised if there is a fault somewhere in the unit causing video output problems. These units were used and abused and rarely serviced. They later get unloaded on auction sites for a fraction of the original price, but usually require a few hundred $$ worth of servicing and repairs to get into tip top shape.
