20 Most Recent Philips VR630 VHS VCR Questions & Answers

you might need to program codes in

I'm sorry to say this but many video heads are more expensive than buying a new machine. But you might get lucky. I did see some parts for sharp at Curry's Partmaster. And you can also try Grandata.
Also try CPC, Willow Vale Electronics.

The chances are that the person who supplied it to you gave you a Phillips remote for another VCR. Many makers remotes will work parts of a different model of the same firm, but only the true remote will operate ALL functions.
If you have the user manual check to see if it list the part number of the remote. If you don't have it look around the net for Philips VR630 remote. See if it matches yours. If it doesn't you will have to replace it.

I get the same problem with one tape (it's about 20 minutes long) .. it also shows a '4' ... when you press the power button it ejects the tape... some tapes are fine ...

Sometimes you can unplug the VCR for a min. or two. Then plug it back in. This will reset the processor. If the tape does not come out, pull the top off and see if the tape is out around the Head. If it is, you have to manually move the gearing to back ever;ything up. The tape its self will not retract back into the cartage, If you can get the cartage backed out, take a pencil and on the bottom of the cartage there is a hole. Push the pencil in the hole(,this releases the spindles) and turn one of the spindles and this will pull the tape back into the cartage. The tape probably won't be any good. Tapes get stuck for many reasons. Sometimes the heads are so dirty the tape sticks to the head and maybe the tape its self is wore out. Hope this is helpful.

many a times it happens.......just open ur machine case which is nearer to the disc side and lightly press the disc lock on it ........your disc can be taken out easily

Hi. Download and see if this manual is what you are looking for.

I am a sanyo VCR technician and i will share to you what i had encountered. the problem of your VCR is in the mechanism "slide front" unable to push out the ejector portion of the tape. If you can locate this part just push it so that the tape will eject.

you have a bad take-up reel clutch or a belt on the bottom of the player mechanism that is causing this trouble.

Remove the cover on the back of the tv. Look for swollen or leaking capacitors. They kinda look like batteries. If they are bulging or leaking then that is your problem. You will have to de-solder the old ones off. Then solder the new capacitors onto the circuit board. Capacitors will cost about 20 dollars and installing them isn't that hard to do. It will fix your tv 99% of the time. So it is worth a try!

I'm assuming that you have checked that the sound is not muted. To confirm that a reset to factory settings is the next procedure: Menu - Setup - General - Factory settings. If you don't see/hear any modifications then it's a hardware defect, not something with the settings.
This happens when the tv thinks that the headphones are used. Simple test to confirm that: plug in a pair of speakers and see if you get the sound on them. If you get and the situation doesn't changes when you unplug them then this is a mechanical defect: the small switch inside the headphone jack is faulty and keeps signaling that the headphones are plugged in when they are not.
The only way to fix that is to replace the jack, which involves a very delicate soldering procedure , one that only a good repairman can do - you must call one.

This should be found on the enclosed code list. 4. Release the Setup button. If the code is correct, the red LED light will blink twice. 5. Aim the remote at the TV and press the Volume Up button.

This sounds like a panel issue Sarah, if this is the case the set isn't repairable.

if new return it
