Hello
Either your DVD players Laser Pickup Unit or its loading belt have faulty. First replace the loading belt. It can be located left front inner side of the DVD mechanism, and can be accessable from outside when tray is opened. In some sets it will be not accessable from outside, and to replace it, mechanism as a whole should be dismandled out. If this does not help, replace the Laser Picup Unit, and its strip wire, which goes to the main board from Laser Picckup unit. OK.

you cannot record on a dvd only play....the vcr records.

The device does not play.

Ensure that a supported disc is loaded in the player label-side up.

Ensure that the disc's region code matches the player's region code.

Ensure that the disc's rating level does not exceed the player's.

Ensure that the disc is not damaged or too dirty. Clean the disc or try another disc.

Moisture may have condensed inside the player. Remove the disc and leave the player on for
1-2 hours and then try again.

or lense may be dirty, try using a dvd 'head' cleaner. this may help situation, if continues, may be internal issue and need repair.

Dear Kevy, Assuming that the problem was dirty lens, I think that you should try a cleaning disk (preferably the the brand recommended by your player's manufacture, if appropriate.) Was the "clicking" sound a normal one, basing on your previous experience? Make sure that all connections are properly done.

hi! you need universal remote control. i am sure it can control everything that comes with a remote. you can buy it in computer shops, or shops explicit for technic. it costs around 15$.

Hi,

It is qualified technician job to replace it as it is not user level repair. Please check with local tv repair shop to get it fix.
Hope this info will help you.
Thanks.

Try codes for Funai. Symphonic might be made by Funai.

http://www.remotes.com/store/symphonic/wf803.html found a replacement remote for $40.00 at this link.

Remove the top cover.

There will be several screws holding the top on. Remove all and slip the top cover backward to remove.

This will expose the internal system. You will see the disk inside under the laser disk reader.]

You will see a gear the drives the sliding disk holder/loader. This is the part you see come out of the door onto which you place the ****. Roll the gear with your finger and the holder will move. Keep going and the disk will come out as normal. Remove the disk and try to plug the unit in and press the close button. The unit may close as per usual. If not rotate the gear again until the holder goes full back inside. Again try to plug in and press open. It may start working. If not is had problems.

Hope this helps

Not enough info; go to the website name of your provider, such as: Dish Network or other.

i need a set codes for a symphonic combo remote codes will you sent me a code forethe remote conro

The CD drawer have an small rubber inside that makes the mechanism inside to work, that rubber breaks down with the time and is the one that makes the drawer to come out, so if the rubber is broken it wont come out.

i dont understand your question.

1. what are you tring to do
2. what kind of player is it.

hello,
read one of the other 'fixits' and applied it to my situation. i opened tray, turned off the machine, then pushed the tray half way in. used air and completely blew out the unit. (as well as can be expected w/o opening.) it now works.
it was very weird. it would shut off exactly 25 seconds after starting recording every time, at least 10 times. another weird thing was that it played dvds just fine.
thanks for help,

You may need to replace either the dvd loader, where the laser is found orand maybe as well as, the MPEG printed circuit board, which can be found attatched to the dvd loader. Good luck.

yes go to radio shack loaded with the brand and model. There is almost always a universal remote that will solve your problem.

Yes, I agree. Dust on the lense will create this error as it did on mine. However, to save you a lot of tech fees or difficulty in dismantling the machine, just buy a can of AIR or Duster, etc. Open the DVD slide and "unplug" the unit from the wall. This will leave the door open. Lightly push the carrier back about halfway. Use a flashlight to look into the DVD and find the center area. Place the plastic tube on the air can in this area and blow it clean. Don't scrape or touch any of the mechanisms inside for safety. Plug it in and it should work if it is dust. This of course does mean that it will likely do it again and could use a 'good' cleaning as suggested above. But it is an easy quick fix. And if you are like me, I won't use it again for another six months.

If your using RCA cables (thats the red, white & yellow leads) you need run yellow RCA from the 'VIDEO (or) TV OUTPUT' at the back of your tv, to the 'VIDEO (or) TV INPUT' in the back of your DVD/VCR combo unit, & do the same with the red & white 'AUDIO' leads only run them from AUDIO OUTPUT(tv) to AUDIO INPUT(dvdrecorder). Now set the mode of the dvd recorder to TV IN or AUX IN. Now it should record whatever you see on the tv screen. But if your tv has an S VIDEO OUTPUT option, using an S VIDEO cable would be much easier & produces a better copy! Hope this helps!

first of all the the VCR has two connection from the tuner at the back one has out to tv the other has in from antenna you connect the wire from the cable company to the in from antenna.you connect another from the out to tv to the tuner connnection of your tv.and you are on.to connect the dvd to your tv.the tv has either at the front three female connector basic colors red white and yellow.the red and white is for audio in, left and right, and the yellow is for video in.the dvd has similar connections but they are output just connect them matching them color to color.there are some female connectors on the back of the dvd if you want to use surround sound.or play it through a reciever.good luck.
