DVD ops normal, but when you switch to VCR you get sound but no picture. The unit show that it is in VCR, but the TV displays the DVD screen. I have tried unplugging the machine, going through the setup, and changing cables all with no results.

Re: No VCR picture
Nip to the website and ask them as you don't give much detail on connection side some use rca connection others use scart connection and others go through rf leads to tv.
on samsung always try manufactures webpages before coming here some solutions we find are posted on the company who built the pruduct others are from experiance from having product itself.
sorry for not helping on this one it may be the vcr out picture tuner has gone may be another factor.

With most dvd/vcr combo units there is separate wiring. When I use my emerson combo unit I have it wired that I have to be on different inputs on my tv to view a dvd and a vhs. On some units the vcr portion is wired via a regular cable line, while the dvd portion is wired with the yellow, red, and white component cable. Try inserting a dvd and scrolling through your tv inputs until you find the picture or check your wiring to ensure nothing has come loose. If that has no result you could try wiring it differently if possible to eliminate that as a possibility.

Such a simple job. First check if the cables are connecred properly 1. Audio OUT from VCR to AUDIO IN of TV. 2. Video OUT from VCR to VIDEO IN of TV
Then switch the TV ON. Select 'Video' on the TV/Video selection button on the TV's remote control. Your TV screen will show a display like 'Video' or 'AV' Play a cassette and you should be able to see the picture... Happy Viewing.
Your unit may have been switched to Progressive Scan mode, which a normal analogue TV can't recognise. Check your VCR/DVD manual for instructions to change picture settings and set it back to PAL TV. Failing that try a new 3 conductor lead from unit to TV. Also unless you yourself were actually the one who accidentally unplugged the unit, it is just possible that whoever did has not (for whatever reason)disclosed to you the full detail of what actually happened to cause it to fail. If it was in fact dropped or fell, pulling on the AV leads they could have been rendered useless or the unit itself might have suffered a Gforce-shock causing component failure or circuit board fracture. All the best with this one
(FROM MANUAL)
RF Output Channel
1-Set TV to Channel 4
2-Insert a prerecoeded tape into the unit
3-Press Source until VCR light is lit
~ if noise is seen on TV screen, press (VCR/TV) on remote
4-Press play> once
5- After a few seconds, press and hold {Play>} on the unit for 3 seconds
~ The RF output channel will change to channel 4 from 3 and you will see a playback picture
~ When a picture does not appear on the TV screen, repeat step 4
6- Press (STOP) to stop plasyback
It sounds to me without knowing the model or type unit that you may need to unplug tv AND take batteries out of remote for a few seconds, replug and start over. Hope it helps
