Dvd player shuts off & goes back to the tv

If you can afford it purchase a TIVO. I had a a video and dvd player and it drove me mad. This unit records 2 programs at once with just the press of a button.
you can watch tv at the same time. Also you can rewind situations on live tv to watch it again. Top unit. I am 73 and I have no problem using it. Love it!

Try this

1.While the previews are playing, press the Menu Button on your DVD player remote to access the DVD's Main Menu.
2.Go to Scene Selection and press your Enter or Ok button on your DVD player remote.
3.Highlight Scene 2 and press the Enter or Ok button. This will start the DVD in Scene 2.
4.Use your rewind or reverse button on your DVD player remote to rewind back to the beginning of Scene 1.

Excerpt from email tech support Walt Disney

Hi:
Using remote locate a button called tv/video or Input, turn on the DVD player and hit this button until you see your DVD player Logo. Most dvd players use either video 1 or 2, or componet or HDMI outputs. Seems you have changed the TV's input back to TV mode and you need to change it to a video mode input.

1. Connect the camcorders yellow, red, and white (Audio/ Video) to the input on the back of the combo called AV1 or Video 1.
2. Then turn the channel on the DVD recorder to AV1 or Video 1. (A couple channels down from channel 2)
3. Make sure camera is in VCR mode and hit play on camera
4. You should see your camera video on your TV and rewind to the place you want to start recording and hit stop.
5. Put an empty DVD in recorder and hit Rec. Button (usually red)
6. Then hit play on your camcorder until you would like to stop
7. Then hit stop on your DVD recorder and each section like this will be another chapter.

Good Luck

I HAVE ONE OF THEM TRY HITTING YOUR "TV/VIDEO" BUTTON

tune in the AV channel on the VCR to the TV and save the settings, then you should be able to record your programmes


kind regards

good day,

just make sure that the colors are matched with the jock and the socket in your dvd player and your tv. just make sure that you unplug first your dvd player and tv while attaching the wires to avoid accidents.

just follow the color coding of the wires and cables and you wont go wrong. just plug in the your tv and dvd player to the electric socket and in no time you will be watching your favorite movie.

for the player, just press the open(eject) button to insert your dvd and normally it will automatically play. just hit rewind (<<) for playback and forward (>>) to skip some scenes. use the |<< button to go back to a previous section and the >>| to skip to the nest section. use the || to pause and the button with the square symbol to stop.

i hope this would help.

There should be a switch on the DVD player that is makred 'progressive/interlaced.' You need to flick this switch til it says interlaced, as obviously your TV cannot view progressive signals. It may be on the back of the player, or under a flap on the front.

Are you using the cable connectors to go into the VCR, and then from the VCR to the TV?

If so, turn the VCR on. Put the TV on channel 3 or 4 (depending on which one you have it set to. If you are unsure, try both channels one at a time) Press the VCR/DVD button so the display on the VCR says VCR (not DVD). Now, you should be able to change the channel with your VCR remote control. If not, you have a problem with your cables. Make sure your cable from the wall goes to RF IN on your VCR. The RF Out on the VCR should go to your TV ANT In or TV RF In.

If you have successfully gotten your TV to display the TV station shown on the front of your VCR, then all you have to do is put in a tape, select the channel you want to record and press the record button.

If you want to watch another channel while you're recording, press the TV/VCR button on the VCR remote, then use your TV remote to change channels.

When you want to stop recording, press the stop button, put the TV back onto channel 3 or 4 (depending on what you have it set to) and press the TV/VCR button on your VCR again. From here you can rewind and view your recording.

how are the cable hooked up? Is there a TV/VCR button because once you start recording, it is at VCR mode, and you need to hit the TV/VCR button to get you back on TV mode,so that you can watch TV.
