Everything worked fine for 2 years. Somehow the DVD/VCR got switched to CH 4. I can still view DVD/VCRs but I can no longer receive TV stations. I have sat TV and ch 4 is used, so I need to DVD set to ch 3. Everything worked fine until the DVD inadvertently got switched to ch 4 and the manual doesn't say how to get it back to ch 3.
The manual sets out a procedure for shifting from thr default (ch 3) to ch 4 only, so I tried to follow that procedure again to reverse it in case it toggled. No luck.
What do I do now, coach?
1) Set your TV to channel 3.
2) Insert a pre-recorded tape into this unit.
3) Press the OUTPUT button on the DVD/VCR so that the VCR OUTPUT light is lit.
• If noise appears on the TV screen, press the VCR/TV button on the remote control.
4) Press the PLAY button once.
5) After a few seconds, press the PLAY button on the DVD/VCR for 3 seconds.
• The RF output channel will change to channel 3 from channel 4 and you will see a playback picture.
• When a picture does not appear on the TV screen, repeat step [4].
6) Press the STOP button to stop playback.
does the satellite receiver support channel 3? i just verified that the channel switch procedure works as in the manual for the emerson, at least it did on mine. you can also try resetting everything to the factory default (except parental menu), press menu, select initialize, select yes (click enter twice), exit the setup menu, then unplug the unit and let it set for 5 minutes, just tried it on mine and it worked.
if this doesn't do it and the above doesn't do it, not sure what to tell you.
you may be able to connect the satellite tuner through the vcr/dvd and use it as a passthrough. mine was setup that way until i stopped using it (built a mediacenter pc to take everythings place)
