Question about Toshiba D-VR4 DVD Recorder/VCR
Purchased new at Christmas time -- this machine has been somewhat of a headache. Purchased specifically to transfer our older VHS tapes onto DVD's to perserve them. This machine has always seemed tempermental; however now we can't see the picture with VHS tape but hear the sound fine. DVD player works fine. Suggestions?
There is a trick to clean the vcr heads, use a dolar to gentely rub the heads but be carfull if you dont do very gentel can break the head, apply little presure to the head with a dolar in your finger and move the cilender back and foward, not the dolar...good luck

Try first to clean the video heads then if that dosent work take in the machine to have the heads professionally cleaned. God Luck

Turn on the player, and I can see the Toshiba logo onscreen. DVD plays fine. Put in a VHS tape, it can rewind, fast forward, play, all visible according to the display on the front of the machine, but no picture and a red icon shows on the upper right TV screen of a line going through a disc. The whole time the front display on the player is looking like it normally does when playing a movie--counter ticking off the minutes, etc. No sound or picture. Check DVD player, works just fine. I have only watched 3 or 4 VHS movies on this thing, it can't be worn out.
