My dvd turns off instead of play - Emerson EWD2204 DVD Player/VCR

Change the input switch to DVD instead of VCR.

It is toast.

Are you running the audio through an amplifier? If so, it sounds like you are using the blue wire (power antenna remote turn on) instead of the blue/white wire (amplifier remote turn on). The power antenna remote turn on turns off when leaving tuner mode, turning the amp off.

try using your blue/white wire instead of the blue wire to turn your amp on. The blue wire is power antenna remote turn on and shuts off when leaving tuner mode. The blue/white wire is amplifier remote turn on.

i think the video out cable is not inserted in the proper jack try out other video out jacks they are yellow in color.

is yor dvd play pluged into the tv or is it pluged into a vcr if it is plug it right into the tv.

and are you watching a black and white movie

My Emerson won't play anything except DVD Movies, never has, wasn't suppose too. Make your movies in DVD Video format and it will read them fine (unless it's broke). I make movies all the time and play them back in mine. It reads DVD-R, DVD+R, and in duel layered. It will not read RW disks!

Man I've every problem you can imagine with DVD Players. I've found when the disk gets stuck, as long as it's not jammed. You can turn the unit off or unplug it. Plug it back in but DON'T TURN IT ON! Instead hit the eject button and the drive should open the drive without trying to read the disk.
