HelloThere are two possibilities for this fault. The first one is of its loading belt. If loading belt, that fastened to loading gear wheel to loading motor get loose or broken, the tray won't come out or go inside. Just place your ear very near to the player, and push eject button and listen, whether there is a motor running sound for at least 3 seconds. If you hear this sound, make sure that the belt is brokenn. The second chance is with loading motor itself. If it do not get proper voltage or got dmaged, the fault you describe here will occur. To replace this motor, you have to disassemble the CD mechanism. You must have all the tools to do the work and experience to disassemble and reassemble the CD mechanism. The motor is not a costly part, and can be bought from most of the electronic spare part selling shops at your town. OK.

For this unit the component output (green, blue, and red cables) only work for the DVD player portion of it. You will need to connect either the av input on the back or the front with composite (yellow, red, and white cables) to your television in addition to the component cables I assume you have connected already. Once you have done so you will need to switch this unit over to the right av output in order to access the vcr and also switch your television over to the right av input in order to pick up the signal from the vcr.

This is a DVD player. It will not write to DVD but will play discs you have recorded elsewhere. You could (with non-copy protected discs) dub the DVD to VHS. To go the other way, you would need to connect the player to a computer with appropriate software or other DVD recording device.

I hope this helps.

This is a known issue with this TV. The following might resolve it: Check Mute and Volume: Ensure that the TV is not muted and that the volume is set appropriately. Sometimes accidental button presses can lead to muted sound or low volume. Inspect External Speakers: If you're using external speakers, verify their connections. Loose cables or faulty speakers can cause sound issues. Test Different Inputs: Connect a non-HDMI device (such as a DVD player) to the TV. Observe if the sound distortion occurs. If it doesn't, the problem might be related to the HDMI signal from your Virgin box. HDMI Troubleshooting: If the issue persists with the DVD player over HDMI, consider the following: HDMI Cable: Check the HDMI cable for damage or loose connections. Virgin Signal: Contact Virgin to inspect the signal/lines and replace the box if necessary. Mainboard Replacement (if needed): If the sound distortion persists, it could be due to a faulty sound processor chip on the TV's mainboard. In this case, consider replacing the mainboard.
