Answer 1

Maybe try asking your question with proper grammar cuz I dont get whatcha sayin'  Ya herd?

Answer 2

Try changing the tracking.

Many (most) modern TVs will not show a signal if it’s too badly formed.

I’m assuming that your wedding video tape was recorded on a different machine, such as inside the video camera or converted onto a full size tape by a different machine.

If so, then the ‘tracking’ would be different on that machine.  If you try to play a tape from a machine with different tracking then so long as it’s somewhere nearly the same, there’s no problem.  If it’s too far out then the signal shows up as badly formed and your TV might ignore it.

Find the auto-tracking button or setting on your player and turn it on.  If that doesn’t work, or is already on, then find the manual tracking buttons and go all the way forwards and back with those.  [NB Auto-tracking is not perfect.  A good manual track usually works better but requires more effort]

Answer 3

Your video, being X-rated, is censored by the parental settings of your VCR.

Ha ha, just kidding, but PS, your spelling sucks.

Answer 4

Usually when a screen goes blue it means that a signal is not reaching the TV, have you tried viewing another Video on the same TV and VCR since your Wedding tape?

Have you tried fast forwarding to the middle of the tape to see whats there?

Have you opened up the front flap of the Cassette and checked that there is a tape face there and it has not snapped or broken away, usually bad tapes or bad signals from tapes come out as snow or interference on your screen, blue means no signal..

Good Luck
