Symphonic WF803 DVD Player/VCR - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Dvd plays but video shakes
There are so many video resolution and frame-rate modes these days that the sad reality is that some TVs are simply incompatible with some DVD/VCR equipment. Very irritating. Having said that, I would try fiddling with the settings to find a fix - but you have possibly tried all that, considering that you posted it here on FIXYA.
No sound when playing dvd
I find modern scart plugs to be pretty hopeless sometimes - I've solved the "no sound" issue by SLIGHTLY bending the pins - worth a try.
Lost remote & manual
You may view/download the manual

Disk error with all new DVDs ???
Have you tried to clean the lazer? Or did you buy the player or DVD's in seperate parts of the country or even another country? If so, there may be a discrepancy between area codes. Don't ask me how to correct that one.

Hello
I managed to find a PDF manual for your VCR Combo, However i couldnt find anything to indicate a reason for the Cst in light flashing. I did find however find that the TIMER REC Light flashes if T-SET is pressed for a timer recording, but there is no tape in the DVD/VCR. It also flashes when all timer recordings or One-Touch Recordings are finished. So possibly this could be the light you see flashing.
The PDF can be found

Hello
Either your DVD players Laser Pickup Unit or its loading belt have faulty. First replace the loading belt. It can be located left front inner side of the DVD mechanism, and can be accessable from outside when tray is opened. In some sets it will be not accessable from outside, and to replace it, mechanism as a whole should be dismandled out. If this does not help, replace the Laser Picup Unit, and its strip wire, which goes to the main board from Laser Picckup unit. OK.
