My vcr won't play back

You'll have to go through the codes listed under Magnavox until one works.

Magnavox Digital Video Disc Recorder with Video Cassette Recovrder...

It claims to play -RWs finalized in DVD-VIDEO format, not VR. If a disc is recorded/finalized on a different recorder, not all players can play it. This is the price we pay for the convenience of the digital system.

You can't burn a CD-A with the ZV427MG9. The unit will not burn to a CD to play in a CD player.

You may be able to record the audio to a DVD with no video source. Connect your cassette player to the Line In audio ports (L/R) at either the back or front of the unit. Depending on your cassette player, you may need a 3.5 mm M to RCA F/F adapter to connect the RCA audio cable to the cassette player's headphone jack. Do not connect a cable to the video input of the composite input unless you have a video on a camera or something to play back. This means that the recorded video may say "No Signal" or will be black or static. (Note: this may not work with this signal issue.)

Set the unit to record to DVD on L1 or L2, as needed, by pressing Source on your remote. Advance the cassette to where you want to record. Press Rec on the DVD unit and then press Play on your cassette player. If you want to identify tracks, Stop the recording and play back and then press Rec and Play again. You are at risk of having issues with the volume during the recording. Clipping of overly-loud sounds and distortion is possible.

When done, finalize the disc, if desired, to play the disc on other DVD players.

If you want to make an audio CD, you would be better off using a computer and connecting the cassette player to the Line In jack of the computer. You do have to make some adjustments to avoid recording the default Microphone input. Use a program like Audacity or any other audio editing program. Record the signal and divide it into tracks, if needed. Now you can filter out any distortion as well. Then save as a WAV file. Use a different program to burn the WAV files to a CD-A. (This must be burned as a mastered disc; my attempts that worked on an older CD player failed if there were gaps between the tracks. Lots of programs will do this; Roxio Creator is one option.)

The manual for the ZV427MG9 is available here: http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/z/zv427mg9_f7/zv427mg9_f7_dfu_aen.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Good day!!!

Most common problems

• VCR refuses to FF or REW and shuts off.
• VCR shuts off entering PLAY or REC or at random during PLAY or REC.
• VCR eats tapes.
• VCR doesn't accept tapes or ejects them without cause.
• Sound is wavery, fluctuating, or muddy.

The cause for all of these is very often a bad idler tire or other dirty, worn, or tired rubber parts

Mine does the same.It's basically junk.A new VCR/DVD player goes for around $80.If you were to call to ask about getting your VCR repaired,they would tell you that it is FAR cheaper to simply purchase a new one.Same Magnavox I bet almost too.model # for mine is MWD 2206.Labor alone is easily at least $60/hour and it would take that just to disassemble and reassemble the VCR section just to get at the problem.Greg

remove cassette mechanisum and clean all the sensor's

good luck.....

i have Philips Magnavox MWD 200G model dvd player purchased in usa and put to use in India.it was rep[aired due to high voltage.later it is showing disc error for any cd or dvd whilke playing and indicvates that the play back feature nay not be available on this disc.but it plays Fuji Film DVD R.please advise me how can i solve the issue for playing the other cds or dvds

On a unit I checked with this same symptom, removing the top cover allows the unit to stay on and operate normally. There is some sort of sensor at the left middle of the chassis, which, when unblocked by any opaque object, allows the unit to remain on. A temporary fix (not advisable) would be to replace the top cover with a piece of clear plastic or taut saran wrap (no vent holes needed). It's unclear exactly where/what that sensor is from a cursory test. This is a work in progress on someone else's machine that I lack full access to.
