My VHS got caught in the VCR and then after it got ejected, now my TV shuts off automatically after 10 seconds. How can I fix this?
It's possible from what you described that your center LED or prisim was broken when the tape was extracted. Like many others these units depend on a series of startup checks and one being the tape path. On the play table of the VCR is a center prisim/LED and two light sensitive diodes on either side of the tape loading assembly. If these diodes do not detect the infared beam the unit will go into shutdown. I'd check there and let me know. Bill

Keep a tape in the VCR player. This happened with my sons TV and it took me about two weeks to figure it out
