The TV button on the remote is to select TV mode for the controller. STB, VCR & DVD do the same for their respective devices.

The A/V should select the external inputs by itself. If not try each of the Panasonic codes in turn:

0011, 0021, 0027,0029,0039,0072, 0102

Enter the codes as follows:

Press and hold TV for 3 seconds until the TV key flashes and then stays on.

Enter one of the codes (above)

TV key should flash twice. (if not go back to the beginning)

Try pressing the buttons on the controller. If all the functions do not work, try the next code.

Hi Carol!

I'm assuming the box you have this connected to is a cable converter box. If this is true, it won't have inputs for video and audio; those RCA jacks are outputs to a TV or other device that can take that kind of input. Connecting your VCR outputs to those jacks does nothing.

The simplest way to connect the VCR to the TV is using the VCR's RF output (channel 4 in your case) from the connector that says "out to TV" or "antenna out". Just remember that outputs connect to inputs. Connect the cable box output (the one marked "out to TV") to the VCR's antenna input. Then connect the VCR's antenna output back to the TV. You will need to pick up another connecting cable with F-connectors if you don't have one. Then you just put the TV on channel 4 to watch tapes. Just leave the VCR turned off for normal TV viewing.

This connection scheme also allows you to record a program from the cable box. The only thing you have to remember is that the VCR must always be set to record on the cable box output channel (channel 4, you've said). The cable box selects a channel from the cable system, but it's always sending channel 4 to the TV. (If you're confused, you're not alone. This is the part most people have trouble getting a handle on.) One thing you can't do is record and watch different channels at one time, though.

If the TV has an AV input available, it will have the three color-coded RCA jacks on the back for the audio and video from the VCR. Connect the VCR to those inputs and switch the set to the AV input to watch tapes. (If the TV isn't a stereo model, it will have only one audio input jack - white - and you'll need to get a Y-adapter at Radio Shack to join the right and left audio into one plug for the TV.) You'll get a better-quality picture and sound connecting the VCR this way.

The best way to go would be to get a VCR with a USB and connect it to a PC. You can get programs such as Magix from Amazon that will restore the pctures and then put them on a DVD or even Blue-Ray drive.

I PURCHASE FROM A TV FROM A SALE AND I CAN'T HOOK UP THE DVD PLAYER AND I DON'T HAVE A REMOTE. THE OPT ARE CABLE AND AIR AND NOTHING WORKS WHEN I SWITCH IT OVER LIKE MY OTHER TV HELP.

Composite video is on the Yellow RCA socket audio on the white then select the correct AV input on TV

Hi, Based on your post/description: 1. the TV is stuck to A/V; 2. you have two video sources - VHS & DVD (assuming both are external and both have A/V outputs with the VCR also with inputs); 3. you want to use either VHS & DVD, one at a time. You can do it the old fashion way, remove yellow, red, white RCA connectors from DVD and plug them at the outputs of the VHS when you want to use the VCR; or Connect the A/V outputs of the DVD to the inputs of the VCR, connect the outputs of the VCR to the A/V inputs of the LXI TV. Hopes this give you an idea. Post back how things are or should you need further information. Good luck and kind regards.

I'm guessing the "black thing in side" is referring to the actual tape itself- ribbon like which can be spooled out of the tape case. If so, then your VCR may have a mechanical problem of some sort, which results in a "no tape transport" or "no tape takeup" problem. If the latter, the right reel (takeup reel) is not being driven. Older VCRs often used a small rubber rimmed drive mechanism to drive this reel. Newer VCRs (10 years old or less) pretty much use a gear drive. Something may be broken here, or perhaps the gear is stuck. This gear assembly has to swivel back and forth, from left for rewind, to right for takeup or fast-forward. Unfortunately, you can't see the gear once the tape is in the machine, at least not from the topside. Suggestion: Take the top cover of VCR off, look for this gear, and see if it swivels freely, look for broken gear teeth.

Best thing for you to doif you dont know where to start is open and check the fuses if this dosent help then contact Rio at www.govideo.com there located in Arizona in the United States Im sure theres other repair places but this is the main place Good Luck

Thank you for getting back to me about my question. I found out that if my DVD is a DVD/ROM it does not burn DVDs. I am told that I can get a external DVD burner to Burn DVDs.
Thank You Very Much

The most obvious reason is an overheating issue in the Power Supply board. There are other ideas here, but you need to take it to a television engineer to diagnose https://www.google.com/search?q=television+will+suddenly+turn+off+every+4+minutes ..

Check the internet connection. The television can't update if it can't see the internet. Resetting it breaks the previous settings. Just for fun, reboot the router as well and wait 15 minutes until all the lights come back on. Then reestablish the television connection to the router.

general steps: Get the TV remote control and push the "Menu" button and select "Options". Select "Child Lock" from the "Options" list. On some televisions, the "Child Lock" is named "V-chip". Choose the "Remove Child Lock" selection. Highlight this and then hit the "Enter" button. Enter the four-digit code that you used when you activated the child lock feature. If you cannot remember it, your only option to deactivate the child lock is to reset the TV. The instructions for resetting a TV is written on the user's manual of the TV. Exit the TV menu once you have entered the four-digit code. To do this, press the "Exit" or "Menu" button on the TV's remote control. If you don't have a remote, you might try leaving the TV unplugged overnight. Some TVs will 'forget' their settings if left without power for a long period. You could also potentially buy a cheaper universal remote, and use that to turn off the child lock.

To pair your Ruwido Amadeus R 9710 remote to your TV, you can follow these steps: Insert Batteries: Your remote is powered by two 1.5 V AAA batteries1. Make sure to insert the batteries correctly. Switch on your TV: Ensure your TV is turned on. Press the TV key: Press the TV key on your remote control for approximately 4 seconds until the LED flashes twice. Enter the Code: After seeing the 2 flashes and within 5 seconds, enter the 3-digit numerical code from the list provided with your remote2. After entering the code, the LED will flash twice indicating that the code has been accepted. Test the Remote: Point the remote control towards your TV and press the key. If your TV does not respond by going into Stand-By mode then repeat steps 3 to 5 and enter the next code in the list. Bed.-Anl. H2 Version1 (ruwido.com)

That sounds like it has a backlight fault. A good TV engineer can possibly repair that for you.
