I will be extremely grateful if anyone can help. I bought this vcr from a colleague who was moving back to Australia and we have had great difficulty with it. Its not broken because sometimes it works, but often I just cant get it to do anything. There is a code number, which we have, but its not apparent when you have to put it in and I just tend to frantically push all the buttons and hope for the best.Sometimes this apoproach works, but unsurprisingly, not always! So please, come to my rescue someone. I will of course willingly pay for photocopying, postage etc
