I have a rca dvd recorder+vcr combo drc8320n i want to set up watching/changing cabletv channels on the dvd remote. i have tried buying universal remotes cheap& expensive but they no longer work on my old tv.( i tried many many times).i dont understand when the dvd manual says to find the vid input channel. i know to watch dvd (without cabletv connected), it is channel 3. while the cabletv is connected, i cant find the dvd that is playing on the tv. the manual sounds as though i can set this up so i can change channels from dvd remote. thanks

With cable input connected to "RF in"on rear of unit make sure vidoe input is set to "Tuner". This will show up on the TV screen. Change channels numerically or using up/down arrow keys on DVR remote. Note there is a slight pause between changing channels.You probably will have to "autoscan" for channel setup/etc. If you say your TV set is old; it probabaly is equiped with coax
connection only/set TV channel to "3" or "4". when yot opt to play vcr/dvd it will override your
cable channel selected. Hope this helps!

If your TV has a video input, either on the front or back of the unit. Sometimes this is a channel which is below channel two. Sometimes this is accessed only by the remote control.

I cant answer the issue with the remote. Sorry.

RCA DVD Recorder+VCR Combo DRC8320N

Sure, here are some possible things you can do if your RCA DVD Recorder+VCR Combo DRC8320N is not working:
  1. Check the power cord. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely and that the outlet is working.
  2. Reset the DVD recorder. Unplug the DVD recorder from the power outlet for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
  3. Try a different DVD. If you are trying to play a DVD, try a different DVD to see if that works.
  4. Clean the laser lens. The laser lens is responsible for reading the DVD discs. If the laser lens is dirty, it may not be able to read the discs correctly. You can clean the laser lens with a soft cloth and some isopropyl alcohol.
  5. Replace the laser assembly. If the laser lens is damaged, you may need to replace the laser assembly.
  6. Take it to a repair shop. If you have tried all of the above and the DVD recorder is still not working, you may need to take it to a repair shop.
Here are some safety guidelines to keep in mind:
  • Do not attempt to open the DVD recorder yourself. This could void the warranty and could also be dangerous.
  • Do not use any chemicals or solvents to clean the DVD recorder. This could damage the components.
  • If you are taking the DVD recorder to a repair shop, be sure to pack it carefully. You do not want to damage the components during transport.
I hope this helps!

I purchased a RCA DRC-8335 DVD/VCR RECORDER COMBO

For anyone who has an RCA DRC 8335 with dvd Recorder, here is a suggestion.
If your tapes have been recorded in SLP Mode, om another player, I can tell you they will NOT play on this thing!!
So, merely take another VCR, and a blank tape, Place the blank tape into the RCA DRC 8335 VCR side, and then, go to its Set-Up Menu, and go to OUTPUT. On the "ACTION BAR"Change the the RCA's output to "FRONT" and then, play the VCRr you stuck on top of the RCA!!
When the inage on the "Source tape is shown,
Record onto the RCA, in SLP Mode, Now, it will play, just fine.
Hope this helps. Jon (Found BY Accident!!)

Need to know what channel my TV needs to be on to watch DVD/VCR

The channel you use depends on how you have the vcr/dvd player wired to it. If you used a co-axial wire, then your tv should be on channel 3. If you used RCA wires, then you will have a button, either on the front of the tv, on the remote, or both that says "input" or "source". Pressing this will change the TV to the rca connectors. Try this and let me know if it helps :)
