You can unlock by pressing and holding the Power switch. Sometimes it will then allow you to eject the disk after it restarts, but not always.

Try running a DVD cleaner through it and see what happens. You can get one at Walmart for under $10. If that doesn't do the trick then take it to someone that can open it up to clean it.

speak to the manufacurer.

sometimes you cannot if they are protected.

if you have sky try doing it through sky box.or use the scarp that fits sky to tv .take scarp from sky and put it in your item you want to use.

Try This Link and scroll to the Go-Video section to select the VCR Model.

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest buying a 'universal' remote control that you can program all your equipment into.

1. Press SETUP,
2. Toggle with the left/right arrow to the RECORDING OPTIONS (icon has a dot and the letters REC below it in the icon menus at the top of the set up screen.)
3. While RECORDING options is selected, press the DOWN arrow to select VCR RECORD QUALITY.
4. Press ENTER to go to the submenu.
5. Use the ARROW UP/DOWN buttons to select the desired quality.
6. Press ENTER to confirm selection.
7. Press SETUP to exit the menu.

This is the same procedure for selecting the quality for the DVR recording speeds.

VHS speeds are:
SLP is 3x the recording time of SP.

DVR recording options are:

HQ=1 hour
SP=2 hours
EP=4 hours
SLP=6 hours

per disc.

As far as I know, my Go Video machine when there was no box involved...

The cable came from the wall to the IN of the Go Video box. Then another cable coming from the OUT of the video box and to the IN to the TV. TV should be on channel 3. As far as I can remember, I don't need to push the TV/VCR button, but instead, have to channel down to below channel 2 on the TV to the LINE/INPUT selection. Once you go there, and the Go-Video machine is on, you should be able to see a clear picture.

You'll push the TV/VCR button if you want to toggle back and forth from the VCR picture to the TV picture (which will be technically blank since it's on the 'line input selection.)

Hope that helps.

I NEED THE REMONT CODES FOR THIS DVD VCR RECORDER

Hi, go to http://manualfox.com and ask them. It´s an international manual search agency which finds you virtually every manual on earth.

I JUST CAME ON THIS SITE A HALF HOUR AGO.. IT IS 5:56 AM AND I HAVE BEEN WRESTLING WITH MY GO VIDEO ALL NIGHT LONG. GOOD THING I'M RETIRED. THAT BEING SAID, I READ IN THE MANUEL THAT YOU CAN RESET YOUR MACHINE TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS WHICH SHOULD DO THE TRICK.

1. PRESS AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR AT LAST FIVE SECONDS. THIS WILL
FORCE THE UNT TO POWER OFF.
2. PRESS THE POWER BUTTON AGAIN TO TURN THE UNIT BACK.ON.
3. UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND WAIT AT LEAST FIVE SECONDS AND PLUG IT BACK IN. AGAIN. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL WORK. I WISH MY PROBLEM WAS SO EASY. LET KNOW.

Since the message is "unknown disc" rather than "no disc" the optics are working just fine and no amount of cleaning or adjustment will make any difference. There is either a logic problem internally where the digital stream is interpreted or the unit is expecting a PAL disc and is getting an NTSC disc for example. I am not familiar with your particular model, can it read both PAL and NTSC? If so, this may not be an automatic thing. Verify that the settings for the player match the type of discs you have. If that fails, then the next option is to have the logic board changed.

We had the same problem and changed the RGA cable connection to the AV2 instead of Component 2. Worked for us

Try to switch the input channels using the TV remote.

There is a botton on the remote (Lock) that puts in safe mode and off.

FIRST UNPLUG THE UNIT FROM POWER !!!!! The problem is dirt/dust/****/crud/stuff on the tiny, little ***** laser lens. Remove the case screws ( 2 on each side, some in the back) with a correct size driver. The cover must be pulled open at the bottom, side to side a tiny bit ( use a hand on each side) to allow the cover to lift up at the rear, it must come up quite a bit as if it is hinged at the front and THEN pulled back out of the front panel. Set the cover to the side. The DVD reader/Burner is covered with a small black cover, it is held on with two TINY screws, STOP!!!! Get yourself the CORRECT size driver at Fry's or Radio Shack, DO NOT get cheap here!!! Remove the two screws and find the two plastic grip tabs, push them to release and lift the cover. There is the laser! It is a tiny blue lens about the same diameter as the tiny screws. find a very, very well washed CLEAN 100% cotton T-shirt. The softer the better, get 70% or higher rubbing alcohol, pull the fabric over the tip of the finger and wet with the alcohol. VERY GENTLY wipe the lens 4 to 5 wipes and the 3 wipes with a dry spot. That should clean the lens. USE NOTHING ELSE!!!!!! The lens tracks back and forth on two tiny bars. The stuff I use is WD-40 wet on a Q-tip swab. Go to a safe place to spray the WD-40 on the Q-tip. The lube should drip. With the Q-tip apply the lube to the tiny bars at the ponts of rider contacts and wipe the bars too. Put the top of the burner back> BE CAREFUL!! Use a magnet driver and then repower and try to read a known good dvd. You will have to do this more in the future, you understand, dist dirt etc in the air. Put the top back on. Enjoy.

Try this: Find a vr3845b and use the "b" model as a filter to kill the copy protect. Antenna in to the "b", out to tv goes to antenna in on the "A" model, then "out to tv" now really does go to the tv. Works for me, but I am not sure if the clean " tv " signal is created by any or all dvd recorders. Give it a try. Good Luck
