Sounds very much like you have a either a dirty laser, or a laser unit failure. Put a cleaning disc through the machine, and see if it improves. If not, then you need to either have a new laser fitted, or a new machine.

it is possible that the power supply unit in the DVD has failed. You will need to open and ccheck, the fuse might be open and if a new fuse blows out then the SMPS unit is faulty.
Possible that the Sm driver IC /driver has failed. Possible also for allied components to have failed.
Or else you can change with a new unit.

Make sure the player is compatible with your TV broadcast standards. A Pal player will show b&w pictures when connected to a NTSC tv and vice versa

The lazer is shot in it when they do that.It is not reading the disc any more.

Change your audio video cable.

There would likely be a short-circuit in the power supply causing the fuse to continually blow each time it is replaced. Either a faulty IC regulator, and/or several electrolytic capacitors, and/or leaky/short-circuit diodes. This would require attention by an authorised service centre, but it could be expensive (this cannot be repaired by the consumer as some of the components inside are virtually impossible to obtain off the shelf).

Nevertheless, you can submit the unit to a workshop, obtain a quote on the repair cost(s), and a second opinion about the unit itself, before going further. This allows you to make a decision on the information provided by the service technician at the time. Up to you.

As I have mentioned before, Samsung has a habit of using unusual parts in their switchmode power supplies; these parts are often of a strange value or voltage rating, and are unobtainable off the shelf to the public - hence the workshop suggestion above. The PSU may require modification or replacement, but this can only be determined by a technician.

In short, no. Not with this unit on its own. No function for recording from or copying to DVDs exists with this brand/model.

A separate DVD recorder is required. I don't know of anyone who records DVDs to tape these days.

You are correct; the manual states clearly you cannot record from the DVD deck in this machine, which is a bit unusual, considering other brands of combos such as LG, SONY and PANASONIC offered an input (which was between channels or could be selected via remote) to allow DVD to VHS recording within the one unit.

I would presume you can connect this combo to the input of a DVD recorder, play a videotape and it will work via cables. DVDs last longer than tapes anyway.

If you forgot your password, press power on from a cold start

with no disc in the unit. Press the REW and F.F buttons

simultaneously on the front panel for 5 seconds. The "reset ok"

message will appear. Press the POWER button and the
DVD-VCR will go to the "Auto Setup" mode. (See page 13)
