AUDIOVOX AVP-6750M 12VDC VCR

[john williamson]

VCR in a conversion van, will accept and eject cassette but will not
PLAY, REV, FF. It has a red LED labelled DEW that is blinking. I can
not for the life of me figure out what DEW means.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
John

I haven't eeen that in ages...

There's a moisture sensor in there. The unit won't power up if it thinks
there's too much moisture inside the unit.

They _do_ go bad, on occasion.

Thanks Roy, I was trying to think of what DEW meant, my wife said
"Doesn't ever work".

Thanks again
