DVD player Hi, I have a Toshiba TV (Model: MW20FM1) with a combo VCR and DVD player. Recently, I tried to play a DVD movie and I was unable to view the movie. It said "Check disc." I inserted another old DVD movie that I have watched on the TV without any problems, and that movie wouldn't play either. Do you have any advice as to how to fix it and to be able to watch DVD movies on my TV? Thanks, Varsha

Hi there,

On a DVD/VCR combo unit....the Component Output (RED, GREEN, BLUE) is exclusive to the DVD player section only (VCR can only output analogue source) and will only be able to view DVD.

To watch VCR, you will need to connect to your TV via Composite (YELLOW) cable, into the Yellow AV input on your TV. You can then tune the VCR section to match your TV's RF input (if you prefer this connection).

Good luck...

You will need to get new cables.

You can try leaving the television unpluged for a couple of days and see if letting the circuits completely discharge will let the television reset itself to normal operation. You can also call Toshiba customer support and ask them if this problem is common and if there is a simple solution. The customer service telephone number is 1-800-631-3811. Give them the model number of your television and they will help you. I hope this information help you with your problem.

did you have check for batteries.

This is a common problem for all combo units. The high voltage of the TV section attracts large amounts of particulate dust from the air and often it collects inside the DVD unit. The best way to deal with this is to clean the lens of the DVD unit u sing a cotton swab and alcohol. The store bought "cleaners" MAY work, but that is rare. These cleaners are nothing but small brushes embedded into a disc. They attempt to brush off hte dust. This rarely works. Open up the unit (if you feel comfortabel in doing so) to access the DVD section. Remove the top cover and carefully clean the lens. That should resolve the problem.

am toshiba authorized servicer-have same model in shop for same problem-dvd board is defective-new board is about 290 from toshiba america parts-tv is actually made by orion with toshiba name stuck on outside-orion is junk-cost more than new set to fix-junk it and buy a panasonic-so far they still make their oun stuff

Try turning on component (cable) for the V2 input  on your TV

Glad you have the problem straightened out.
Have a great week
