I have a 2003 Sansui VRDVD4005 recorder. It currently playsback on channel 4 on my TV and I need to reset it so it plays back on channel 3. Do you know how I can make the change? All suggestions on the website do not seem to work for me.

is the yellow jack plugged into video out (DVD) to video in (TV).......is the TV on ch 3? if there is a switch on the back of player is it switched to 3 also?

how to hook up to watch dvds

Most likely you have the dvd part connected through component or svideo cables. Despite the fact that this is one unit, like other vcr/dvd combo units it acts as two separate units in the same box. The vcr will probably not play through those cables. As you have audio coming through I'd imagine that the audio is connected using red and white composite cable. Connect the video on the vcr side with composite yellow cable or run direct to tv with a coaxial cable.

To solve this Code 10 error, follow these instructions: NOTE: After removing these registry keys and rebooting, it may be necessary to reinstall any CD or DVD recording applications.
1) Close all open programs

2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter

3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
• SYSTEM
• CurrentControlSet
• Control
• Class
• {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

4)This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry.Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.

• UpperFilters
• LowerFilters
• UpperFilters.bak
• LowerFilters.bak

5) If any of the above keys shown in step 4 are listed, right-click on them and choose Delete

6) After deleting the keys, close the Registry Editor

7) Reboot your computer

8) Open My Computer and check to see if your CD or DVD drives havereturned. You may also want to open Device Manager and verify that theyellow exclamation and error code on the CD or DVD drive is gone.

again hope this helps!
i'll check back to see if you need more help

Sansui VRDVD4005 will record DVDs provided they are DVD-R NOT DVD+R. I have one of these for 3 going on 4 years and I took it apart and cleaned the dust off the magnetic hub and that worked for awhile but (2-3 months) now I'm having trouble finalizing again. Someone on this site said it needs 8x NOT 16x disks ... 'cause it's an older unit ... I'm checking it out in the users manuel.

First off, be sure that you are on the channel that you want to record!!
Press the setup button, the SETUP menu screen appears.
Select "timer rec set".
Then another screen comes up... select "new"
Enter your times, dates, etc.

there is a detection switch in the back of the unit it need to be cleaned or replaced.

Is the vhs tape copy protected? I think you can only copy your own vhs tapes or what you record on tv. I could be wrong though.
