Can't get a picture on TV screen

We have a Mitsubishi VCR model HS-U545 correctly hooked up to the TV but can't get the picture to appear--only "Video 1" appears on the screen. Can you give step by step instruction, as if to a 4 year old, on what to set the remote[s], and how to get the picture? The tape moves but nothing happens.

Thanks and happy new year.

When a tape won't eject, the problem can be caused by several things. The most common problem is that the belt that operates the eject mechanism is slipping and not allowing it to eject the tape. This can be fixed by either using a re-grip solution on the belt or have the belt replaced. Belts are inexpensive but sometimes difficult to get to. Most of the repair expense will be in the labor. Unplug the unit and take the cover off. Hopefully there will be enough clearance so you can get to the tape. Try to find the motor and belt that is responsible for operating the eject mechanism. The motor will look like a shiny cylinder, about the diameter of a quarter and will have a plastic pulley attched to the shaft. You can rotate the pulley and belt with your fingers and manually eject the tape. If the tape is around the spindles and video head, you will need to manually move the mechansim that retracts the spindles and returns the tape to the cartridge. While you may be successful in getting the tape out, you need to find out what caused the problem in the first place. Putting in another tape will most like become stuck again unless the problem is identified and resolved. Also look for a broken spring or cracked gear (missing teeth) in the eject mechanism. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance Good luck! - Jim

Vcr

You will have to tune the TV to the VCR output channel, which it sounds like you are already doing if you can watch videos. Then you need to set the VCR tunert to the correct input channel, probably something like line 1 or Aux or something like that. Probably the easiest way to find it will be to turn everything on and then just scroll through the channels on the VCR until you see what you are looking for.
