The TV button on the remote is to select TV mode for the controller. STB, VCR & DVD do the same for their respective devices.

The A/V should select the external inputs by itself. If not try each of the Panasonic codes in turn:

0011, 0021, 0027,0029,0039,0072, 0102

Enter the codes as follows:

Press and hold TV for 3 seconds until the TV key flashes and then stays on.

Enter one of the codes (above)

TV key should flash twice. (if not go back to the beginning)

Try pressing the buttons on the controller. If all the functions do not work, try the next code.

I emailed and asked for them to email me. I received the instructions very quickly, within minutes.

Hi Carol!

I'm assuming the box you have this connected to is a cable converter box. If this is true, it won't have inputs for video and audio; those RCA jacks are outputs to a TV or other device that can take that kind of input. Connecting your VCR outputs to those jacks does nothing.

The simplest way to connect the VCR to the TV is using the VCR's RF output (channel 4 in your case) from the connector that says "out to TV" or "antenna out". Just remember that outputs connect to inputs. Connect the cable box output (the one marked "out to TV") to the VCR's antenna input. Then connect the VCR's antenna output back to the TV. You will need to pick up another connecting cable with F-connectors if you don't have one. Then you just put the TV on channel 4 to watch tapes. Just leave the VCR turned off for normal TV viewing.

This connection scheme also allows you to record a program from the cable box. The only thing you have to remember is that the VCR must always be set to record on the cable box output channel (channel 4, you've said). The cable box selects a channel from the cable system, but it's always sending channel 4 to the TV. (If you're confused, you're not alone. This is the part most people have trouble getting a handle on.) One thing you can't do is record and watch different channels at one time, though.

If the TV has an AV input available, it will have the three color-coded RCA jacks on the back for the audio and video from the VCR. Connect the VCR to those inputs and switch the set to the AV input to watch tapes. (If the TV isn't a stereo model, it will have only one audio input jack - white - and you'll need to get a Y-adapter at Radio Shack to join the right and left audio into one plug for the TV.) You'll get a better-quality picture and sound connecting the VCR this way.

Thank you for getting back to me about my question. I found out that if my DVD is a DVD/ROM it does not burn DVDs. I am told that I can get a external DVD burner to Burn DVDs.
Thank You Very Much

The best way to go would be to get a VCR with a USB and connect it to a PC. You can get programs such as Magix from Amazon that will restore the pctures and then put them on a DVD or even Blue-Ray drive.

I do not know what cable provider you have in your area. The best solution that I have used over and over again with replacing a remote since getting an original one is difficult but not impossible. Use remote controls that the cable company provides for its users. There is a small brochure that comes with it to help you program in the correct code. Most of these codes are brand specific and not necessarily model specific. I have always had success going this route in solving remote control problems. Give it a try. Those remotes enable you to program up to five or more units. Very good. God bless.

check the drive belts in both decks. they stretch with age.

TRY:

Sounds like the chipboard has blown. You could try pulling the unit apart and see if there is a burn on it not always easy to see but if there is you may as well buy a new one. If not it maybe the power supply regulator has blown which is more likly and this can be replaced but is expencive to do.

Open the cover. Rotate the gears to eject the tape mnually.
Try again with another cassette. If problem persists, change belts.

Composite video is on the Yellow RCA socket audio on the white then select the correct AV input on TV

This unit needs an overhaul. Specifically, there are belts and idlers that should be replaced. The rubber has dried up a bit and is slipping. This is a common maintenance item and should cost about $20-$40 in parts plus hte local labor charge.
