Sylvania DV220SL8 DVD Player/VCR - Page 2 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

There is more than one model so I do not know if your remote control operates the exact same way as this one but it is worth a try.

It has a tape transport problem. It shuts off to avoid any damage. It probably is not loading the cassette all the way in.

This happens when the DVD player has motor spindle problems if the media does not spin the laser can't read the information it will hunt and eventually fail.

You may see UNKNOWN DVD on a philips model or C 00 13 on a SONY model (ie dirty disc)

Take a look at my solution for a Philips DVDR3380 DVD Recorder for help and tips how to solve this problem

Hi,

You can download a free manual for this player from this link

Please be patient to allow the download to load as it is a PDF file.

To load music on to the player do the following
1) Connect the player to your PC using a USB cable.

2) The computer should recognize the player and automatically download the required drivers.

3) Go to 'Start' - 'My Computer' and you should see the Mp3 Player listed there as a removable disk.

4) Simply drag and drop Mp3s or WMA files from your computer into that folder.

5) Disconnect the player - it should update itself and the player should be able to play the files.

Hope this helps. Please do take a moment to rate my answer and thanks for using FixYa.

your TV has composit video in but your DVD/VCR only has Component video and Svideo outputs ..those are not compatable with your tv .. if you look more closely you might find an SVideo input on your tv .. its flat and not as easy to see as the normal jacks .. if your tv does have SVideo then all you need is an SVideo cable (plus the two sound cables) ... i could check on what you have if you give the TV model number .. othwise you have to have something to convert your SVideo to composit video .. there is a cable that does that .. you can check with radio shack .. if they do have such a cable then one end would plug into the svideo of the dvd/vcr . the other end would plug into the yellow jack on your tv .. hook up sound and it should work ok ..
here is such a cable on the internet ..

go to this site, find your remote and read the instructions:
http://www.xdiv.com/remotes/

have you considered google-ing your remote to get the codes? You didn't give one important piece of info...what brand is it? You can find it here:
http://www.xdiv.com/remotes/

Open it up and next to the right spindal where the tape goes there should be a small, black B-S button, press it in with a pencil or pin, and it should reset the VCR's computer.

Hello misskysunshi,

It sounds like you video processor has malfunctioned, due to a voltage surge. When your power went out and came back on that caused a voltage surge which may have destroyed the video processor, or its associative circuitry. I would suggest that you have a qualified TV repair technician look at your device and give you an estimate on the repair cost.

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

No, because screen casting wasn't invented and it isn't a Smart television. Time for a new one.

Here are some troubleshooting tips to try. However, as it is an older set, if these tips fail, the cost of a repair at a shop might exceed the value of the TV. In short, a new TV may be in the works. Cross your fingers. One of these tips may work. Let's troubleshoot the issue and try to get it working: If you are using a remote, check the batteries in it. If you are using several remotes with it, try the alternative remote. Sometimes there is a glitch affecting the remote for a Roku where it won't turn on the TV other than a powered black screen and you have to use the other remote to turn it off and back on and then the Roku screen pops up. I have not sorted out why. Check Power Cord and Connections: First, ensure that the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and the electrical outlet. If you suspect a faulty power cord, consider trying a different one. Reset the TV: While most Sylvania TVs don't have a dedicated reset button, you can perform a manual reset: Unplug the TV's AC adapter from the electrical socket. Press and hold the Power button on the TV for 20 seconds. Plug the AC adapter back in and turn on the TV. Check Audio/Video Cables: Inspect the audio/video cables connecting your TV to the satellite or cable receiver. Ensure that the color-coded prongs match their respective connecting points. Correct any mismatches (e.g., white cable into a red port) by reorganizing the prongs. Inspect Coaxial Cable: Look for the coaxial cable on the rear side of the receiver, attached to the port labeled as ANT IN. Confirm that the connection is firm; a loose coaxial connection can cause display issues. Tighten the cable by pinching the silver band on the end and rotating it clockwise until secure. Check for Interference: If distortion continues on the TV screen, consider nearby interference. Power-hungry appliances can cause electronic interference, affecting display quality. Visit a Repair Shop: If the above steps don't resolve the issue, you may need professional help. Some technical faults, such as a blown fuse or faulty capacitor, require expertise in dismantling and soldering. If uncomfortable with such tasks, consider visiting a repair shop

1. Auto Code Search:
   • Turn on your Sylvania TV.
   • Press and hold the "Code Search" button on your Philips remote until the indicator light stays on.
   • Press the "TV" button on the remote to set it to control the TV.
   • Press the "Power" button repeatedly until the TV turns off.
   • Press the "OK" or "Enter" button to save the code.
2. Manual Code Entry:
   • Find the code for your Sylvania TV in the Philips remote control manual. If you don't have the manual, you may be able to find it on the Philips website.
   • Turn on your Sylvania TV.
   • Press and hold the "Code Search" button on the remote until the indicator light stays on.
   • Enter the code using the number buttons on the remote.
   • Test if the remote now controls your TV. If not, repeat the process with a different code.
3. Try Common Codes:
   • Some common Sylvania TV remote codes for Philips remotes are 0810, 1684, 1886, 2183, 1081, 1172, 1196, and 2049. Try entering these codes manually.

it is a very simple TV, is TV connected to cable? Here is link to manual copy and past download and save for future reference. It is very old and has CRT not LCD. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/776815/Sylvania-Sylvania-Ssc092.html#manual

More likely you hit the Source / Input button and lost the signal. Press it again until it comes back.
