Cannot get TV/VHS unit to work.

Hi,

For the moment, the only easy user action possible is to reset the unit, that is unplug from the mains for a couple of hours. Thereafter, press the eject button while powering it up. If you can eject the tape, pls see if all the buttons/controls function normally. As you suspected, the unit is lock in record mode.

Should problem persist, you may either seek the services of a qualified professional (the unit has to be opened up) or return to point of purchase and demand a replacement.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Sounds like the vcr lock feature is on,

hold down the rec/time button for 7 secounds during the power on mode.

ushally goes off within 24hrs if the time is set. but seems maybe thats a issue.

try that see what happens.

and if possible give the model number of the unit please.

Quasar is made by panasonic and their guides and manuals can be found there as well..

I found this manual hoping it was close to yours take a look and let me know.
