I just bought a "new" vcr to start converting videos myself, and I can't get it to power on. It's a JVC HR-S7600u.
I first plugged it in and put in a video tape to test it - the video played for maybe 1-2minutes, and then I decided to check on how it adjusted tracking later in the video tape. I FF to about 15 minutes into the tape and then hit play. It played for a short time, and I started playing with the "date" "channel" buttons and "stop/start" buttons on the remote because the channel button is how to adjust tracking, but then the tracking wasn't changing, so I tried the other buttons.
VERY soon after that the vcr powered down - there was still a display, "AUTO" was blinking, but the vcr wouldn't power on long enough to play the tape. It wouldn't even turn on long enough to eject the tape. I tried pushing just about every button after that, and when I hit the timer button the tape ejected (since the tab was popped to protect the tape - it's not a tape that's able to record and when in Timer mode it ejects).
Since then I've looked up the manual and I thought perhaps the Plug & Play was the issue - they said that I had to have the cable hooked up to it so the device could scan and find the local PBS station that would send the time signal. I hooked up the cable - unplugged the vcr for more than a half an hour - plugged it back in so it could find the cable and get set up. I left for work, came back, and the time still hasn't set, the power still won't come on.
Is there something I'm missing or is it just broken?
Thanks!

Sounds like a faulty VCR.
The time issue doesn't affect the basic function of the player (at least not that I recall as I had this deck years ago). The unit should always power on and function. The "AUTO" will continue to flash until the unit pulls the time info (which I don't know is still relevant).
From another forum:
Take your factory remote & hold the power button down on it for 6 to 10 seconds (aim it at the VCR), it should then power up and work properly.Google is your Friend -
You can also try leaving the VCR unplugged from AC for several minutes to see if that resets the microprocessor.

I had a similar if not exact JVC unit. The power supply would go out yet the light(s) would come on. I replaced the PS 3 times before it went out again. I remember throwing it away. I'd had enuf.
