DVD door will not open

I have a Magnavox 4-head VCR/DVD combo. The VCR plays fine. The DVD door will not open with the remote or manually. I have tried to see if it is stuck shut but I have not been successful in getting it to open. It will stay in DVD mode for only about 1 minuet then it switches back to VCR. HELP!

    Tks!

I had something similar. Try this: press stop on the remote for the DVD; then remove the tape in the VCR, and the door should open.

I have a Magnavox clo358 universal remote what are the codes for my Magnavox DVD VCR combo

To program your Magnavox DVD VCR combo using the Magnavox CLO358 universal remote, you can try the following codes:

0503
0675
1153
1203
1321
Here's how you can program the remote:

Turn on your Magnavox DVD VCR combo manually.
Press and hold the "Code Search" button on the remote until the indicator light turns on.
Release the "Code Search" button.
Press and release the mode button for the device you want to program (in this case, the DVD VCR combo). The indicator light should remain on.
Enter one of the codes listed above using the numeric keypad on the remote. The indicator light should turn off after entering the code.
Aim the remote at the DVD VCR combo and press the "Power" button. If the device turns off, the code is correct. If not, repeat steps 4 to 6 with the next code on the list.
If none of the codes work, or if you have any other issues, it's recommended to consult the user manual of your Magnavox CLO358 universal remote for additional instructions and a complete list of codes.

I record a DVD from VCR tape and try to play on another device

In my research, I learned about finalizing the DVD, which was a new concept to me. I looked that process up in the manual and it did the trick.
