The only thing I can find in the manual for this model regarding your question about a key is 'parental control' (page 21) for the DVD. The DVD section may have a password on it, and has long since been forgotten or misplaced. You can try to unlock the player by doing the following:
If you forget your 4-digit password:
To clear the current password, follow the procedure below.
1 Press [ SETUP ] on your remote to display the setup menu.
2 Enter the 6-digit number 210499 and then press [ SELECT/ENTER ].
The 4-digit password is cleared.
3 Enter a new password as shown on page 21 of the user manual. (Rating).
If you do not have your original user manual, you can download the pdf free from:

(copy and paste link into your browser and follow the site prompts)
My guess is that the 'key' is a parental lock icon. I assume the VCR part is usable.
I hope this helps a tad. If not, then you have some other unknown problem which is not outlined in the user manual, and therefore may require workshop attention.
