Sanyo VCR/DVD player

Turn Progressive Scan off by holding down the [PLAY] button for 5 seconds.

Had same model. Had same problem. Turn off Progressive scan:
1 - Power on 2 - Output is on DVD 3 - Hold down PLAY button for 5 seconds

For that you need to do a google for "mymodel region free" or "region free hack"

Not all dvd players are capable of this often very simple modification (usually just involves the remote control and a combination of keys)

Your search will turn up a lot of sharks that want money for the hack

IGNORE THEM

There are a lot of sites where the information is free.

I am unsure of FIXYA's policy on this topic so would prefer not to get my @ss kicked. That is why I gave you the search terms rather than site links

You may already have the solution, but I ran into this problem too on my 7200. The way to get it out of progressive is press and hold the play button for 5 seconds. Simple - once you know the answer - I was afraid it would involve navigating through menus you couldn't see.

Hope this Helps.

This solution really helped thanks sooooooo much. SYG

My dear friend I think you maybe by mistake put the function progresive scan on the dvd check on the remote control for that function and try to deactivate.Good luck

To turn off Progressive Scan, press and hold the DVD Play button for 5 secs until the Progressive Scan indicator light goes off.

The DVD section is set to output as component video / progressive scan. You need to set it to either S or composite video output which is how your VCR is hooked up. Thats why you have no picture.

press stop and keep hold of the stop button while you eject the dvd, it worked for me, i played around with it and found pressing stop and holding it while ejecting works

Press and hold the play button down for 5 seconds, this will turn the progressive scan feature off. As per the troubleshooting manual.
