2.0 out of 5 stars
Starts good then jumps to warp...over my head,
By darkguardian2 "darkguardian2" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Vcr Troubleshooting & Repair Guide (Paperback)
Starts out with easy to read introduction with block diagrams. The next chapter goes into troubleshooting equipment and tools which was good. Beginning with the chapter on maintenance, it tries to show the parts that need to be lubricated and cleaned. With "Determining the Problem" chapter, the amateur is left behind in favor of the seasoned technician, introducing acromnyms and VCR model numbers without explaination. From there on, it gets worse with full schematic diagrams guaranteed to have beginners running to the service center. The pictures are in black and white and hard to make out (quality equal to a photo copier) left me disappointed. The following chapters goes in to problems with each section of the vcr ending with case studies of classic problems likely to be encoutered by techs. I a have background in digital and audio electronics but haven't work in video electronics (TV) since 1981. I thought this book with it's 180 pgs and medium text would get me up to speed on the state of the art. Unforuntately it failed for me. I gave it 2 stars since it could help seasoned service techs with better a better background on the subject then myself. I'm opting for a text book.
