Try hitting the "Lock" button on the remote. That solved the problem for us.

SOURCE: my dvd says open door will not open

You probably need a new dvd belt it is 24.25 mm rectangular. or it could've slipped off. Take off cover and move white wheel with teeth very gently until dvd tray starts to open then you can gently pull on it only pull it half way out and look in center of where dvd would normally be. There you will see the bigger and smaller wheels that control dvd player. look around for the belt. Make sure power is off when you do all this.

SOURCE: Sylvania MTS/SAP tv/vcr/dvd combo turning itself off

could be that either the dvd or the vcr are malfunctioning, usually it is the vcr that creates the problem. If you turn tv on and set vol to low see if you can hear the noise of the motor loading or trying to load,with out a tape inside. It may be a good idea to have a qualified tech repair it, these units are difficult to work on and further problems may come up if you are not familiar with the tv.

My Samsung DVD/VHS recorder the DVD won't close after playing DVD

Never force it, just use the remote.
If it won't stay in, unplug the unit and wait a while.
I think we get viruses from the TV signal which might be temporary (hopefully).

GO VIDEO model 1030....VCR works fine...DVD..nothing happens...door won't even open?

Combo units have this essential flaw--if one half fails you are usually done especially if the DVD side fails.

If Door does not open either a disc is jammed inside the mechanism or the mechanism is out of alignment or damaged.

Good argument against buying these units--DVD individual parts are rarely sold--only (if available) would be the entire DVD unit itself--not cost effective to repair.

DVD players are now real cheap (see some for as little as $20) so if not a simple jammed disc or something like that buy a DVD player.

Need code for universal remote for sylvania srd3900 dvdvcr

Check these codes:
0456 [0458 0227] [0458 0236]
Where the code is listed as [### ###] the first is for the DVD and the second is for the VCR. Otherwise just the one code operates both the DVD and the VCR.

Why won't the DVD-RW disks FORMAT? I've seen others with the same problem with formatting multiple types of disks... Please help.

If you are using a Sylvania DV220SL8 DVD Player \ VCR combo (which this question is posted under the heading of) there is a very simple reason why you can't format DVD-RW disks. DVD Players can't do that. You need a DVD Recorder to format DVD's.

This applies to all comments under this heading as well. You can not record if the unit you're using does not have that capability. And this unit does not have it. You can record with the VHS VCR, but the DVD Player is just that... A Player. It's not a Recorder.

I need assistance in connecting my DVC845E (VHS & DVD recorder) to my Samsung TV. A VHS will play but cannot get it to record.

Some of the Newer VHS/DVD units don't have cable inputs. If this is like yours you can hook a RCA Audio/Vidio cable from your Samsung TV Vidio/Audio outputs (if set has them) to VCR/DVD inputs................... Larry

Sylvania DV220SL8 won't play DVDs, DVD tray won't open

One simple solution is to unplug the unit for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Worked like a charm for me.

Sylvania 6720FDE combo tv/dvd/video

The codes for a combo set are found in the DVD settings or the VCR settings. Try the rca codes for DVD or Vcr and it should work. Although you may find that not all the functions will work properly ( ie: fast forward, open door, etc ). Good Luck
