Symphonic WF-719 19 in. TV/VCR/DVD Combo - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

You may have a broken belt on the tray

you need to reset your tv and this shoud solve the problem if not let me no

There are several things that could be causing this. One is the environment. Humidity and dust can cause this as well as cooking or anything that causes a smoke environment. Another thing is the unit might be having premature wear on some of the parts. I would suggest getting your tapes transferred to dvd soon.

This set doesn't have that option...accordianman

Most TV shops can test the remote to see if sending by pointing the remote at it and pressing buttons.Many digital cameras in a dark room will react with a tiny flash of light on the camera display when the remote is pointed at it and buttons pressed.The remote may also if not working be repaired by most shops--we get 5 dollars if we can fix one--usually easy money.

Purchase a replacement 'universal' remote - widely available from electrical / tv stores

Try a different remote. You can get an duplicate of the original remote from remotes.com: http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=gmi&uuid=12830395283450&smodel=WF719&brand_pn=SYMPHONIC_WF719 . Otherwise, a higher end universal remote may probably work. The ones that can be programmed by a computer are most likely to work. Check the manufacturer's web site for each model when you do your research to find the few that will work with your TV. (Google can be a great help.)

Some features are available from the buttons on the TV. Unfortunately that doesn't include the Setup and Disc Menu controls.

I hope this helps.

Hello, on some of these combinations you might have to try not only the TV codes on your universal remote list, but also the DVD or VCR codes also. One of these three will program your universal remote, but make a note: you may have a partial function on your remote ie: power, but no volume control or channel scan(up/dn) or no number operation(0-9). This happens on some of the universal remotes not all of them. thanks!

how to get to menu

The codes come with the new universal remotes. Yes you can buy a universal remote. Some things on your set might not be able to be accessed though depending on model.

You can get a 75 Ohm to 300 Ohm balun from a local Radio Shack Store and connect it to VHF antenna but you won't be able to receive off the air signals for very long because in about a month all TV signals will be being broadcast in Digital Format nationwide and all you will receive is SNOW. You'll need to also buy a Digital to Analog conversion unit as well to receive off the air programming. Sorry for the bad news but that's the advancement of technology and mandates from our government (FCC).

Hope this helps and Happy New Year,

did you try leaving a tape in the vcr?mine did that and when i left a tape in it worked fine. good luck.now i cant get a tape out...lol

as long as you're not breaking any laws you can connect the video/audio output of your combo unit to the video/audio input of your vcr using audio/video rca cables where the yellow plug goes to the video input/output and the red plug to the right audio and the white to the left audio input/output.

It is likely that your infrared LED, under the VCR mechanism, might be dirty or failing.
