    Hi, I am having trouble with my sony RDR-VX535.
    As stated above VHS tapes have no problem running and operating smoothly. However, once I load a VHS-c adapter, the video will play for about 2 to 3 seconds before stopping. The VCR still stays on, but it acts as if I pressed the stop button. I can continue right back and press play but the problem still persists.

    I've tried multiple VHS-c tapes and the issue remains. Would it be best if I just bought a new adapter?
    The adapter I use is an old Popular Mechanics EL-303 cassette adaptor.

    Any help will be appreciated! Thank you!

    Yes, get a different adapter. I recommend JVC, Matsushita/Panasonic. Never had trouble with either of those.

    JVC CP7U type, powered adapter

    Note that many VCRs hate C tapes, certain decks are suggested.
    What you have it not suggested, neutral.
