It sounds like Ratio problem. It should be a button on your TV remote and or Cable TV box that will allow you to set the picture size to 4:3 Ratio, 16:9 or FULL Look at your manuals they use sveral terms, sometime they use picture, Zoom or Ratio.Best of Luckwww.aaatvservice.com

Unplug the TV/VCR/DVD Combo from the main power for a couple of minutes, the unit may eject the tape at the power ON. You can also try openening the unit, reset the loading posts and eject the tape by manually turning gears, motors etc..You have to know what you're doing otherwise, you will do more damage or get injured and don't forget HIGH VOLTAGE CAN KILL.Best of lockwww.aaatvservice.com

Hello
Check with an other new disc. Check it with other disc that was running smoothly before. It that disc aslo not reads well, make sure that either its Laser assembly Lens is dirty, or the laser assembly itsef has damaged. Check it with an audio CD and MP3. If these work well and only it does nor reads DVD only, the fault is with lased assembly itsef. Put a head cleaning disc in to it and play it for two times. If this helps you, the lased head unit was dirty. If this also does not helps you, the Laser Pickup Assemby is defective and should be replaced with identical in both number and type. OK.

Use the remote, look carefully and find the source/input button.

You have not mentioend the device. You can check for the fuse point, or a failure of the surge protector in the mains circuit.

Hello,

The remaining red retrace are the giveaway that this is most likely not a CRT problem.

(If there were no red lines, it could be the filament for the red gun of the CRT going on and off due to a bad connection inside the CRT - bad news.)

How is a black and white picture? (Turn down the color control).

If B/W picture is good, then the problem is somewhere back in the chroma decoder circuitry.

Check the video input to the CRT video driver board and signals on that board. If B/W picture is also bad, then you can compare red and green signals to determine where they are becoming different. The red lines in your description sounds like the red video output circuit is drifting and messing up the background level, blanking, screen, or other setting. Could be a capacitor or other component.
Hope this will help...

Let me know, if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

First check the cable from the dvd to the tv, if it only happens when you use the dvd player then it is the lead that is the problem, unplug the lead from both blow any dust of both the connectors and plugs, then replace them ensuring they are in as tight in as possible on both, if you still get the same problem i suggest getting a different cable and trying that.
The other thing that could coarse this is the lense inside the dvd, get hold of a dvd lense cleaner and give that a try, also clean the dvd disk itself.

Sounds like you OTR is on OTR on time record go into your menu of your TV and turn off the OTR feature you should be all set.

Thanks I hope this was Very Helpful for you! Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edwy_1a56970cf1ea4620

Unplug the TV from the wall, leave unplugged for a day or two, the TV may reset itself. You will lose all the programmed channels and may be other stored settings. The best is to get a universal remote for $10 or less.

Good luck

I have my tv set as a monitor. how do change to watch tv?

Try 11256 . I don't have an all-in-1 . Just Comcast remote and I am now able to power/volume with that code.

don't have a solution to this problem .. am looking for one!!

Here is where I found the remote code (1256) for the TBX-2000AF and it has many more codes for Polaroid models. Good luck (copy and paste this link) http://polaroid.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/polaroid.cfg/php/enduser/popup_adp.php?p_sid=fPLB5Gzi&p_lva=&p_li=&p_faqid=2854&p_created=1116267791&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0xOTk0JnBfcHJvZHM9JnBfY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**

I NEED OTHER REMOTE CONTROL AT POLAROID TBX-2000AF 20 IN TV/VCR/DVD COMBO. THANK YOU

You must put yourself at the mercy of a repair shop to see exactly what you need. The labor on these is only typically 3 months to begin with, and you're just about out of warranty, assuming you even registered the set with Polaroid. Barring that, your recourse is to pay to get your disc back, and make the choice on whether to have this one repaired...accordianman

The same thing happened to me. The manual on polaroid.com says to press and hold the F button (located at the top of the remote) and press the mute button at the same time. This will unlock as well as lock the TV. It's a child safety feature.

try leaveing it on stand by mode for 24 hours do not tuch the tv at all or you will have to do it all over a gain it might just be your back up battery is dieing it might reboot its self if you leave it for 24 hours on stand by mode ok
