20 Most Recent Sylvania (SRDD495) DVD Player/VCR Questions & Answers

what is your remote control model and manufacturer?

Greetings - It's very simple so I'll show you how and then I think it may be another problem (nothing broken).




You need to plug the corresponding color cables into to outputs on your player I've circled above and then into the corresponding inputs on the TV. You've probably done this correctly.
PLUS - You have to, using the remote for the player, set the source to either DVD or VCR and then you have to, finally, on your TV set the input (with the remote) to what is called probably VIDEO or VIDEO1. If there is still nothing on the screen keep (with the DVD or Tape playing) hitting the TV remote input button until you see an image or you've come around to where you started.

Unless something is broken (unlikely) you should be able to watch DVD's or Tapes depending on what input you select on the player.

If it's not working you've somehow missed a step or the Video input on the TV is called something else. If that happens come back here and give the player AND TV brand/model info and someone will be able resolve your problem.

Good Luck and thanks for using Fix Ya.

Try the (Goldstar and Zenith) trick - with the unit on, but no discs inserted, press and hold STOP button on the front (not the remote) for 10 seconds, then release. This should revert progressive back to normal interlace output for your TV and may also turn off the progressive LED indicator on your unit.

I mentioned 2 other brands in parentheses - because the (press and hold STOP for 10 seconds) trick works for progressive on those.

Try a laser cleaner disc first before you blame the laser or drive of fault.

The tape gets jammed and wrinkled because the capstan is moving faster than the rollers - the speed control circuit is faulty, the processor detects that and signals it in the screen . There's nothing you can do, the fault is in the IC that governs the speed and it must be replaced, and this can be done only by the repair shop of a dealer - they are the only ones that have the circuit for replacement.
Either take your VCR to one of them or get a new one (it might be cheaper).
