I am able to record- the view finder shows the image being recorded. But, during playback, all I see is a blue screen and the tape icon showing the tape advancing and the index counter advancing.
The heads were recently cleaned without any improvement. Thanks for your help!
I have tried to play back old tapes that were previously viewable but these too only appear as a blue screen. Thanks Zohail.
