DVD/VCR recorder/player is stuck on progressive mode. Have tried to correct problem through Sony but to no avail. Please help as this machine is sitting idle. Thank you.

Thank you for your suggestion. I read the instructions in the book that came with the VCR and it states the same thing you suggest. However,, the book says to push the pause button repeatedly for 5 seconds. You say push the pause button for 5 seconds. Do you mean push and hold the pause button for 5 minutes? I am so dumb when it comes to reading instructions. Please help. The VCR is at home and I can not wait to try your suggestion. Thank you so much.

SOLUTION: I had the same problem after forcing progressive setting when I shouldn't.

Manual's solution on hint, page 102, works IIF you THEN turn off the unit, wait 10 seconds, and then turn on the unit.

My RDR-VX530 is also stuck in progressive mode. The tv display is now blank and this recorder is now a brick. I tried unplugging the unit for 3 hours, holding down the power button for a minute, holding down both the channel up/down buttons and holding down the pause button. Nothing resets the unit so I can get back into setup. How can I reset this box to the factory default settings?

Hi! I had the same problem. Press the pause button on the RECORDER for 5 seconds and the progressive light will go off. Not the remote, the recorder.
