Sharps DV-RW250H can't play a vcr on the machine the dvd works but also can't play blue ray

SOURCE: copying vidoe to dvd

Hi, if you still have the problem of unable to copy from video to dvd,then just follow these instructions, on the Remote, (when you have both the video tape that you wish to copy in the machine and the blank disc also in the machine ) Press the DUBBING Button(This is 2 buttons along from the Record button),almost immediately a message will pop up asking if you wish to copy VCR to DVD.
Hopefully this is of help to you. Regards. Gary

SOURCE: will not play Blue Ray DVD

I had the same problem. Try this. Contact Sharp and have them email you the firmware update. You will need to download it from the email and transfer it to the player via a flash drive. See if that works. I am about to return my Sharp Blu Ray player to Costco and go back to DVD. There seem to be a lot of problems with the technology. Even when movies start to play, they have freezes and it is sometimes hard to get the menu to show up

check for bad capacitors (make sure its top is not bulged), check for bad step down transformer on unit. one or more of these may need to be replaced, if you are replacing faulty capacitors, make sure they are of same uF ratings, the unit will accept a +/- tolerance difference of 10%
