Remote Code for Magnavox DVD Player BDP170MW8 to LG HD-TV 42PC5D

The LG manual provided a remote code of 013, yet the DVD player does not respond to the programming on the LG remote. Any ideas of alternate codes to try?

Thanks, in advance, for your support.

Trun the DVD player on till you see the "progressive scan" screan. Hold the "stop" botton down for 5 seconds and the unit should reset to standard DVD play.

Worked for me, good luck.

Just set the channel to a non-premium channel (ABC, CBS, PBS, etc.) before starting the dubbing process.

I am going to assume you are talking about a code for a universal remote control.

It could be one of these:

HOW DO I CONNECT MAGNAVOX DVD/ VCR TO VIZIO FLAT SCREEN

I BOUGHT A MAGNAVOX DVD/VCR COMBO AND I HAVE A VIZIO FLAT SCREEN AND I CANNOT GET THE MAGNAVOX DVD/VCR TO WORK WITH VIZIO TV WHAT DO I DO?

Is simply. get the audio/vido cables and look on the back of the TV and connect from the audio video outputs from the combo to the audio video inputs on the tv. remember the colors of the terminals and connect them that matches the red, white (audio) and the yellow (video). Using the remote locate the button "input" or "source", and select video 1 or 2, depending where you connected it.

Magnavox DV220mw9 won't record from Tv, hard to connect

I've just hooked up my mother-in-laws analog tv, converter box and new magnavox dvd/vcr combo and it will not record from tv. Can watch previous recorded tapes. Is there another way that I need to hook this up? It will not let me bring the tv stations through the vcr. I have it on channel 3 on the converter. When I go to channel 3 on tv and leave the station channel I get a blue screen. The record light comes on the vcr but nothing on screen to tell me its recording. Can't get a menu either or set up information to appear on screen. This magnavox won't work with old rabbit ears either. No place for screw on conax cable. HELP Please!

check out this diagram, paying close attention to the audio video cable hookups.

assume the cable tv box represents the converter box

you are going to come out of the converter box audio and video outputs into the new magnavox dvd/vcr combo audio and video inputs.

Then out of the new magnavox dvd/vcr combo outputs to the inputs on the tv if it has such inputs. The TV will have to operate on the video input 1 or 2 if the tv has such a thing, use the remote for the tv to adjust the input signal to line in 1 or 2 depending on what it has.

If the tv has no coaxial input or audio video inputs then you might have to use an adapter, you can get these from radio shack.

You say it will not record from the tv, but in all actuality the dvd vcr combo is getting the signal from the converter box not the tv, do you understand what I mean here?

So the dvd vcr combo gets input from the converter box so you will have to set it to view signal from the line input you have plugged in from the converter box. line 1 or 2 or whatever the input is.

the tv will have to be set on the line input to view the signal from the dvd vcr combo.

That is as easy as I can put it. Study the diagram closely. You will see what I mean.
