My emerson EWV603 vcr. When I turn it on or when I insert a videocasette, the screen is blue. How do I get to the menu stuff so that I can program my vcr?

Here is a link to the Emerson EWV603 user guide/manual:

Good luck!

On the back of the unit there is a small switch which will allow you to select either channel 3 or 4.

My Emerson EWV603 VCR came up on channel 3.
My manual says to put a tape in, push play at the VCR.
After 2 or 3 seconds, push play again AT THE VCR. This
changed my default channel to 4. Maybe you can do the
same to go from 4 to 3.

If your lucky it's just the mode switch that needs replacing.

Change TV viewing channel to 3 or 4. If this works your VCR's output channel got changed during storm. If this is the case, review previous answers to prblems with this VCR.

no luck

The only solution to this problem is to buy a new remote from the manufacturer. Aftermarket remotes that I have looked at: RCA, PHILLIPS, SONY, etc do not have a speed select button for the VCR. (which IMHO is stupid) Come on aftermarket people- it cant be that hard to program a speed select button!

Most VCRs of the last 10+ years are programmed via the remote box. If you have the matching remote, there should be a button which brings up an on-screen menu where you can select various functions such as setting the time/date, tape speed, channel programming, and the unattended recording you desire. Take a look here for an online manual: http://www.emersonaudiovideo.com/pdf/om/EWV603.pdf

If you have tryed this with your VCR then Im guessing that there is a power supply issue. In most cases, a VCR would not be worth the repair or the diagnostic fee to inform you on how much the vcr will cost to repair. If you really want to playback VCR format buy a new one with a built in DVD recorder, buy some inexpensive DVD blanks, and put those Video tape onto the DVD format and they will never ever fade.
