Have a samsumg 4600 combo dvd/vhs plays vhs with good sound and picture, dvd only has sound and no picture

That's usually dirty or worn out heads or not enough take up tension in the tape

hmmm..ok...sounds like a video setting issue on the way in..you'll need to go to the menu, and reset the input settings, so it's in alignment...

Check ur RCA cable setting might have a short in the cables.

How about a USER MANUAL instead :D


Please note this unit is NOT a DVD recorder. It only has a DVD ROM drive to play DVDs - not to record to them.

blank disk to dvd tray....VHS in deck....PUSH PLAY ON VHS...and RECORD on DVD BURNER....if it is a burner...they weren't all burners....it has to say DVD WRITABLE or some thing in that mannern

If you combo get activated the progresive scan function you never see the videio only sound you need to deactivate

maybe it is a default, ocnsult the manufacturer

Combo DVD/VCR players don't output the VHS with Component Video. Most of the time, it won't output over the S-Video either. The high end outputs are ONLY for DVD output. You must run a yellow wire, or use coax cable to get the video. Same goes for the optical digital sound out. It's only for DVD use.

i would check the tv TO DVD/VHS COMBO connections OR REPLACE OLD AUDIO VIDEO CABLES especially if the tv plays clearly.

Your unit has it seems to have developed a video problem. it could be in the video switching IC or the video processor. Its going to need a trained technician, who knows how to use an ocilliscope to find the video problem.. Good Luck
