Sdv398kc Looses Video If A Bad Tape Is Inserted And Cleaning The Head Does Nothi
I've come to the conclusion that all 4 of my combos, now 5, have exactly the same design flaw that can not just be rebooted by turning off the power or pulling the plug. I need to reset the memory on the vcr playback function, if I put this one vhs Star Trek Tape into each of the 4 units , I loose all picture but the sound is okay, through allot of experimenting I've been able to retire video to its original "New Like" quality but two others will not reset, I believe just by fudging around with the heads and luck two now work okay, I found another new unit still in the box and it worked great, till I put this one tape in, now no more video, again!I now know somehow this tape must have a flaw in the medium that confuses the video processor to the point it does not know how to reset itself back to working order, THERE MUST BE A WAY TO RESET THE MEMORY IN THE VIDEO PROCESSOR, the scope says there is video but the electronics just show a noisy screen with NO IMAGE, unless you fast forward on play and the screen flickers like it's going fast forward , ... how do I reset the vcr to play back video, the electronics is fine but somehow this tape screws up the memory of how to form a picture, ANY WISDOM to this very puzzling situation would be very helpful, I know these unit work fine but this vhs tape somehow reprogram the combo units to nullify the video signal, I probably can get them working thru trial and error, and months of wasted time, but your assistance would be EXTREMELY GREATFUL, you have a VERY GOOD unit but I'm sure many shops have the same issue but won't dare it ????????Your trulyNick SkoblenickI'm finding the same problem with Panasonic, Emerson, and other units I help people on line with this kind of video issue, but this one really baffle the heck out of me, playing and switching heads usually does not help but occasionally I do something that the video returns !!!Sent from my iPhone 2:30 am...

To completely reset the unit, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet for 5-10 seconds. If the problem persists (or if you require further explanation), you'll have to consult Toshiba: use the contact information here--https://www.contacthelp.com/toshiba/customer-service.
