Apparently the ends of RF cables and the connection plugs got a bit loose here and there over the last 7 years. The reason I think is that the motorised stands on all three television cause a slight amount of friction when moving and after 7 years it needed some work. I also took the Beocord V8000 out and carefully cleaned the heads and other heads and pins that touch the tape with some alcohol. The&amp;nbsp;user manual states that the VCR cleans the heads by itself, but still&amp;nbsp;dirt showed up on the cotton swabs.&amp;nbsp;The Beocord&amp;nbsp;was bought&amp;nbsp;on a end of productline sale at a dealer in&amp;nbsp;2006 but this cleaning job also really improved it&amp;#39;s performance! It was somebody on the forum that once mentioned that he did this this RF cable, plug and VCR job, but regretfully I forgot who it was. Nevertheless thanks to that Beoworld member for the great advice. I&amp;#39;m now really enjoying the old fashioned Beolink over RF cable again!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.s. Upgraded back to gold again, hoping to please Prizedrawbot in sending a prize to Amsterdam. He can come and&amp;nbsp;deliver it himself. I&amp;#39;ll give him a free canal tour and make sure he stays away from The Red Light District and the Amsterdam coffeeshops.&amp;nbsp;Those places could drive an innocent robot crazy&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/16.gif" alt="Whistle" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
