Mine does the same thing, it appears there is a white plastic piece of the track that slides is broken. If I take the cover off and look in the front right hand side I can push it with a pen while pressing the open button and it works. Now if I could replace the plastic piece I would be all set.

Go to this link which is Funai the manufacturer of your DVD Recorder. Type in the model number on top right side and the manual download will show up.. It did for me

Don't hook the DVD/VCR recorder through ur cable box.Hook the DVD/VCR recorder through ur tv only it should work find.This way each units have it own direct functions to the tv.U recording the shows from the tv not the cable box ok.

Take the top of the case off, then you can remove the tape, manually; after you shut down and removed from the powerline.. Maganavox has tape take up problems, which it needs to power on to eject, after auto shut down.

Try website like Remotes.com to buy an exact remote to ur original remote.

Hello,

Check the back of the VCR, you will see Video, Audio Out and Video, Audio In.

Connect a RCA wire from output of the VCR to Input of your TV.

The RCA comprises of Yellow, white and red. The yellow wire is for visual (display or video) and the red and white part is for audio (sound). Find an image of RCA wire below:



Connect one end of the yellow wire to "video out" of the VCR and the other end to "Video In" at the back of your TV. This is responsible for display.

Also, connect one end of the Red/white wire to "Audio Out" of your VCR and the other end/part to "Audio In" at the back of your TV.

Make sure the VCR is turned on, then press Source/AV on your TV remove and the VCR will display on the TV. Also make sure a VCR Tape is already playing in the VCR so that you can get a signal.

Good luck.

I just had this problem with mine. I took the top and front cover off and discovered that the belt drive on the right side of the VHS tape assembly was off. It is fairly simple to get back on with a pair of the small spring loaded needle nose pliers meant for electronics work. Unfortunately I was not able to repair mine at the pulley that is driven by the motor was worn out and cocked sideways which is what threw the belt off in the first place. It was not economically feasible to fix it so into the trash it went.

Hope this helps you.

you need to clean the vcr with a cleaner that you can buy at a store. If that doesnt work then you need to take the 4 or 5 skrews out that hold the top on and look at the motor and gears move while you put a tape in and you should spot the problem pretty quick. It'll be with the round metal wheel that turns the tape.

Use the Dub video feature. This will work if the source is not copy protected. Make sure you have a writable (or rewritable) DVD with sufficient space available in the DVD tray (closed) and put your tape to dub in the VCR.

Press Setup on the remote and navigate down (up/down arrows) to Recording and press OK. Then select Dubbing Mode in the next menu level and press OK. When the Option menu opens, highlight VCR to DVD and press OK. Press Setup to exit this menu. Choose a recording mode using REC MODE on the remote. Press Play and then Pause when you reach the point where you want to start the recording (press quickly if you want to dub the whole tape; you will lose a few seconds while the dubbing starts so include 5 seconds extra if starting later in the tape). Then press Dubbing on the remote. The duplication will start. Press Stop when you reach the end of the section to record.

I hope this helps.

(only the Setup and Rec Mode buttons do not have a matching button on the front of the unit. The later steps (setting up the start point, starting the Dub and stopping it) can be done with the remote or the buttons on the unit.)

I had the same problem, so I took it back to basics. Hooked cable into VCR/DVD player and another cable from player to TV. S cable too, plus red/white audio. Plays DVDs on AV1 and VHS on Channel 3 on TV setting.

First, make sure the wiring is ok, any outside cable connection (box) wire from the out..should be plugged into the in on the dvd.vcr... and the wire out from the dvd.vcr to the tv...... now make sure the tv and dvd/vcr is both on Ch 3...........(if cable / sat this will select the ch)..... ok test it pick a channel.........press rec on the vcr,,, 30 seconds is long enough... stop rewind press play ..... yeeay.........

Put your TV onto chanel 3 to pick up your Magnvox signal

Do I have to download something to be able to record vhs to dvd on my sv2000 dvd/vhs recorder?

Just call Magnavox and get it for $17.95 shipping and all. They are cheaper than any I found on line.
