Picture problems The dvd player worked fine until my daughter kneeled on the remote, now the picture will not come in-it looks like a video tape when it needs tracking fixed.

    I was using this fine. When I went to go play a dvd, it would play with sound but no picture. What can I do, or where can I take it to get fixed?

Your solution is exactly right. I switched the DVD/VCR from my 27" SDTV to my 46" LCD HDTV and it works perfectly!!!! I never could figure out how to get it off the progressive scan setting on the DVD/VCR itself, but switching tv's fixed my problem. However, if someone has the owner's manual and can post how to get it off prog scan, please post in case someone else needs it on a 480i standard tv. THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!!!!

I dropped the remote and the same thing happened.  I had to reset everything using reset button on remote (by trial and error) using the manual.  I highlighted the correct settings in case it happend again.

Scrolling/black-and-white/"out of tracking" display on a DVD player is generally caused by the DVD player being switched into Progressive Scan mode on a TV not capable of viewing that content. Scan the remote for a button labeled Progressive, I/P, P.Scan, or anything similar. Scan the user manual for information on resetting this also. If the manual and remote come up dry, call Protron and see if there's a key combo you can hold to reset that. Often, holding Play for 5-10 seconds will reset to standard (Interlaced) mode, or holding Stop while turning the unit on. Sometimes, holding Display on the remote for a few seconds will also switch this setting. Good luck.

    Oh - there's also a chance it got switched to PAL instead of NTSC under "Display standard" - however, that's rather difficult to do by kneeling on the remote. I would say try holding down the 'important' buttons one at a time to see if it switches back, if it doesn't have a Progressive Mode button as mentioned above. ('Important' buttons being Play/Stop/Display/Power etc..)

Look for tape residues on the head drum (metal cilinder inside). Clean it with extreme care or use a cleaning tape. If any tape get stuck inside recently the ground shaft might be bended and it causes grainy pictures.

Cable damage is the first thing to check. If the cable is external this is an easy check by trying a new one. Otherwise it is probably internal cable damage or damage to the video output plug.

Possibly dirty video heads. I would suggest that you run a head-cleaning tape through the VCR deck to shift surface dirt off the heads. If that doesn't work, or it sort of works, but not satisfactorily, unplug unit, carefully remove top cover, and with the VCR deck in view, gently clean the heads with a soft cloth or special cleaning stick (these look like flat q-tips but are intended for VCRs - available from electronics/hobby stores) and some alcohol (methylated spirit will work if that's all you got - but isopropyl alcohol is recommended - available from the same places as the sticks) clean the guides (gently so as not to disturb their alignment) clean the pinch roller/capstan shaft - CTL (on the right-hand side of the drum) and FE (left side) heads as well. The whole tape path should be carefully cleaned. Refit top cover (carefully), plug unit back into power, wait until it completes its startup/loading procedure, then put a tape in. You should now have a playback picture with the sound. You only need to do this as required if head-cleaning cassettes don't work properly.

If none of the above cures your problem, then the heads are abraded/worn - let's hope that isn't the case here. This model does not use a built-in head cleaner.

Sansui DVD/VCR remote control issue, VCR works/DVD does not-black
There should be a DVD/VCR button on the remote control which will toggle the machine from one playback source to another. If she has pressed the VCR button then the machine will only playback tapes & not show DVD's. Press this button & the DVD's should play. If you look closely at the front window of the machine it will show what mode it is in ie VCR or DVD, set this for the DVD to get it to play.

Vhs picture problem
Dear Zepp,

Firstly, video is not a clear as DVD.

Suggestions:
Do the video heads need cleaning?
Is the video tape a bit worn?, Try another video tape.
Do the video tracking controls needs tweaking?

Same problem with an older JVC player. One end of the S-video cable was loose. Pushed in in tight and everything ok again. Cheap fix if it works for you.

DVD/VCR combo player won't work
I had a similar problem and corrected it with a solution found on another site. Try hitting the I/P button on the remote which controls whether "Interlaced" or "Progressive Scan" is used to display the image on the TV. Mine worked when "Interlaced" was used. but no picture was displayed when "Progressive Scan" was used. The I/P button toggles between the two settings.

Your unit has it seems to have developed a video problem. it could be in the video switching IC or the video processor. Its going to need a trained technician, who knows how to use an ocilliscope to find the video problem.. Good Luck
