The DVD works fine but the VCR doesn't play, rewind or forward tape.

When I press play, the display reads, PLAY for a couple of seconds, then HIFI for a couple of seconds, then _ _ : _ _ Same thing for FF and REW (no HIFI appearing) When I pop in a cassette it sounds normal, like it's about to play and then _ _ : _ _

L would have a look inside to see if when a tape is inserted it loads and will ff and rew, if the transport that moves the tape has failed it will account for what is happening.

Not likely. They probably just need to be cleaned and re-alligned. Rates vary, but our shop charges $20 to do that.

I have the exact same issue, DVD don't play. The VCR works & the cds will play on DVD side, but it will not play DVD. Warranty is expired and we barely used it.

SOURCE: DVD will not finalize

I have a Zenith XBR413 that I have a problem with when I copy from VCR tapes to DVD-R discs. After I copy them, I can finalize the disc using the SETUP button on the remote and then choosing the very bottom disc icon at the bottom of the menu screen. It then leads you through the finalization procedure. But the disc will still not play on any DVD player but the XBR413

You will have to go into the dvd menu and finalize the disc for it to play on any other player. Check in your manual for more information.

My tape player doesn't play anymore,

There are end sensors in the unit that are fed by a lamp and they burn out - I am guessing the lamp is out in the center of the tape.
There could be other reasons but without seeing the unit I can not determine remotely. I have repaired thousands of VCR in my 40 years in service.

There is a part that is called an idler wheel assembly that is critical for play, rewind, and fast forward, and may have stopped working. The second possibility is that the drive belt that runs the idler assembly has broken or come off.
