Dry Joints
Like most Philips models this VCR suffered from problems
associated with dry solder joints. Before carrying out
anything else it is advisable to check the PCB's for dry joints.
In particular the power supply section and it's linear regulators
should be checked.
Carriage
The VCR would not accept a cassette until the eject button has been pressed.
The carriage, or lift as Philips refer to it, is made of a delicate plastic and great care
is needed to ensure that it does not get jammed. Parts are very difficult to
obtain.
Video Heads
If the VCR suffers from mistracking first check the voltage
drive to the piezo-electric crystals used in the Dynamic Tracking
circuits. Video heads for V2000 machines are now rare and extremely
difficult to obtain.
Audio Dub
This VCR featured an audio dub mode which enabled sound to be
over recorded on the linear tracks.
