Have found this link with a photo of the terminals and spec.
This VCR appears to be MONO so only one audio output and a BNC connection

2 thing spring to mind.
1 - How many plugs have to connected? There should be 2 sound (L&R) and 1 with the video signal.
2 - Have you selected the channel on the TV the VCR is connected to, if so have you tuned this channel to pick up the signal from the VCR?
Also have you tried another tape?

thank you so much for the manual. but what is a BNC CONNECTION sorry im a real thicko when it comes to techy things.
This is a BNC connector... and it's highly unlikely you have them on a VCR

More likely you have phono connectors, which look like this

If you have the above red, white and yellow connectors then you just need something like this

And then you can connect the VCR to the scart on the TV.
