In the above picture the 3-Amp fuse has been replaced with a 20-Amp fuse with dramatic results. The result was a complete destruction of the VCR at a replacement cost of $600.00. If the 3-Amp fuses do blow, you may try replacing the fuse with a 5-Amp fuse per the manufacturer's suggestion. Should that fuse blow, the VCR or cable has a short and needs to be sent in for service.
