i did what u said still stops after about 7 sec and video switches off ta
Have you tried more than 1 video tape? It could be a problem with one particular cassette.
Another thing to try is winding the tape from beginning to end and back again before trying to play it. Tape can get stuck to itself after a time and fully winding and rewinding it might do the trick.
You can get "wet" cleaning cassettes, which clean the spindles and rollers as well as the heads.
