I have the same problem, my tv will not allow me to change channels but will only let me add/delete the channel the tv is currently on

Locate on the front of your set the remote receiver- its a tiny round lens that if covered with a piece of black tape will prevent any remote from working---Unless the person has a Emerson remote he would not be able to do this--if you cover the lens your remote will not seem to work but you will not have them turning your set off etc.

Check these codes:0227 0233 0254 0264 0265 0266 0310 0325 [0039 0252] [0147 0250] [0147 0257] Where the code is listed as [### ###] the first is for the TV and the second is for the VCR. Otherwise just the one code operates both the TV and the VCR.

HelloA blue screen only with no indications of video means, there is no video signal. That is no signal condition. Check the tV connected with an external antenna. Select to tuner, and see whether it receives any on air transmission. If it recevies, and you can see the picture, and the fault is with VCR only,m means that the VCR section has trouble. If there is no picture either with VCR or external antenna, the fault is with the switching IC iside the circuit board. To locate this IC and to repalce it is actually a skilled work indeed. If you have sound knoledge in electronics, you can do it by yourself. If you have, inform me. I'll send the schematic diagram [service manual] to your TV. I can't send it to you by this site, as this window does not allow me to upload PDF fies by it. If you want to get the service manual, send your Email ID to me by Fixya. I'll send a copy of it to you by return mail. OK.

Hi, These are the codes for your emerson EWC1304.
1264, 2132, 3131
I hope these codes will work for you.
Best regards,

The loss of picture in playback mode is due to a dirty video head or heads. You might be able to solve this problem with a simple head cleaning tape. if not, the video heads will need cleaning manually.
This should me performed by a TV technician as there are some dangerous voltages inside.
if you choose to do the repair yourself, you need to disassemble the unit to reveal the VHS player itself. Inside there is a round shiny video head. This part is at a slight angle and should be. Dont try to adjust it. Take a piece of paper, saturate it with alchahol or acetone and place the paper flat against the side of the video heads. Spin the heads in counterclockwise direction only paying close attention to the small slots near the seam of the two heads, upper and lower cylinder. Carefully wipe clean with cotton swab and let dry a while before using the unit.

Right beside the tv manual power button.U tries all the codes that was provided for ur tv model,than those codes does not work on ur tv.Some times all the tv codes belong to ur tv just don't work could be any reasons.Try website like Remotes.com to buy ur tv original remote,than don't care anymore about programing codes.

Hi,

If everything else works - there is sound and high voltage (static on the screen) - but there is no picture (including no on-screen menus), this limits the likely area of problems is the video output circuitry or CRT filament connections. Check to see if the CRT filaments are glowing. If they are not glowing, check for bad soldering on the CRT neck board and around the flyback transformer.

Where the picture is erratic - coming and going entirely or changing brightness suddenly, with power off, remove the picture tube socket (carefully!) and clean the pins with fine sandpaper and use contact cleaner on the socket. This source of bad connections can result in a variety of erratic symptoms. Check for bad solder connections on the CRT neck board.
Hope this will help...

The antena hole input in the Converter box that where said the input source said Ant.,use a antena like a digital antena,roof antena or a rabit ear antena.Hook up ur source of the antena go in that hole.The hole input said out to tv in the Converter box,use a cable that was supply to u,came with the Converter box.Use that cable plug in the Conveter box tv hole said out to tv.The other end of that cable go to ur tv Ant. hole.Now u got it all hook up.Turn ur tv to channel 3 or 4 now u got a menu from the Converter box,go down to the highlight word said scan channels,push that highlight word.Ater the scan are finish,u will now get all the free DTV channels.

This is a common problem usually caused by slipping belts. Becaue of its location, the VCR section is subject to heat and the belts dry up and get slippery. Repalcing the loading belt should resolve this. Since the unit will be dis-assembled for this repalcemetn, I would suggerst that the capstan belt be replaced at the same time. This is the one that drives the heads as well as the FF/REW spindles. The belts should be about $2-$4 each.

Every television for the past 20 years has remote capability, with no exceptions. Purchase a universal remote, then there will be a piece of paper with the remote telling you how to program it for your brand of television.

this is caused by the tape winding too tightly so when it rewinds it gets tension and thinks it is at the end of tape ,so stops.

It pays to FF and REW several times on new or other peoples tapes to have the tape acclimatised to the tension on your machine. It may also need to be serviced if it is doing it to tapes you have previously FF to the end and rewound. Older tapes stretch a little more than new tapes so are more forgiving.

{Plese rate our help ++++Thanks for using FIXYA

Check in the Menu for a sleep timer or some type of timer that is shutting it off automatically. It should be in the TV's menu under the power settings or something similar.

If that's not it, or that doesn't work for you, leave the Television unplugged for a while (long enough for all of the settings to reset) and then plug it back in and see if the problem persists. If so, you may have to get the TV serviced.

I hope this helps :)

The TV should be on channel 2, 3, or 4 to work correctly. There might be a small switch on the back of the VCR that lets you select the channel that it wil play back on.

Also, look on the remote control for the VCR and see if there is a button labeled TV/Video, and press that while something is playing. This switches back and forth between the TV signal and the VCR signal and it could solve your problem.

there might be a paper stuck in side from the tape or somting loose

It only has an analog tuner, you will need a converter box after february 17, 2009.

Hello to all, go to your TV menu and go to V-chip set up, then go thru and see that you don't have any channels blocked. If you do and you are watching a show with that rating, you will receive the "protected program message".

Have a great day!
