Open/close button for DVD does not work on my Sylvania DVD/CD/VCR player model DV220SL8

The instruction book will give a list of Error Messages and their meaning.
If you've lost the book go to Sylvania's website where there will be easy to follow steps to either viewing the book for the device or downloading and printing it.

If you are using a Sylvania DV220SL8 DVD Player \ VCR combo (which this question is posted under the heading of) there is a very simple reason why you can't format DVD-RW disks. DVD Players can't do that. You need a DVD Recorder to format DVD's.

This applies to all comments under this heading as well. You can not record if the unit you're using does not have that capability. And this unit does not have it. You can record with the VHS VCR, but the DVD Player is just that... A Player. It's not a Recorder.

Try unplugging the unit for a few seconds, plug it back in and try it. It may also be dirty and need a service.

One simple solution is to unplug the unit for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Worked like a charm for me.
