Why does my tv shut off when i insert a tape i insert a vhs tape?

Try running the tape end to end twice on fast forward.

Probably a fault on the video player not loading up the tape, so it shuts down

That is exactly what a typical M-Load mechanism is supposed to do. Once the VHS tape cassette is inserted, cassette housing cover will be flipped up and two arms will pull tape out of cassette housing to wrap tape around cylindrical spinning head housing that contains video heads and, if VHS HI-FI, audio heads as well. When stop or eject button is pressed, arms will retract and tape will wind back into cassette housing. What type of problem are you experiencing with unit? It may have nothing to do with M-load engaging tape around head cylinder.

I had this problem when copying an old family vhs tape. I had to unscrew the top of the magnavox to access the vhs tape. Then, I gently removed the tape and replaced the cover. After winding the tape back, I put it in the player and immediately pushed fast forward for about 3 seconds before hitting play followed by d.dubbing. I was able to make a copy of the tape and did not damage my original.

This is a problem of the mechanism vcr. loock into the vcr because may be the kids put some objet inside vcr. To check also all the vcr belts.

Select AV-1 or some thing in TV and plug DVD recorder Video-Audio output in AV-1 input of TV, playback any DVD and confirm its picture and sound in TV. Press Stop button of DVD recorder to stop playback.
Now plug Video-Audio output of VCR in DVD recorder input and select AV Input in DVD recorder, insert VHS tape in VCR and playback it and confirm you get VHS picture and sound in TV via DVD recorder.
Hookup between TV, DVD recorder and VCR is completed.
Playback VHS tape in VCR, Insert blank DVD disc in DVD recorder and press Record while you see VHS tape picture in TV.
Hope this info will help you.

super vhs tapes has an extra hole on the side where you lift the flap to see the tape the pin inside the machine must be stuck.I have had no problems with this as i have jvc super vcr s as they are great machines also take the lid off and clean the heads around the drum see how you go.

i should imagine so if they are not copy protected films i.e shop ones .if they are tv films on tapes etc then it would be possible to do so.
via insert the vhs tape and insert the blank dvd in to its tray
play the vhs tape and press rec to record on to dvd .
although the manual might give a better guide to doing this .

I am afraid the set has a bad or broken tape transport, or better known as a bad tape carriage.

You probably have a bad or dirty mode select switch. Another possibility would be a gear out of time if a tape was forced in too quickly.
