We just received a 2 year old RCA Truflat TV but are trying to get the instructions for working the DVD player and VHS machine attached to the TV

see the following step:
1) clean with VHS tape clean the inside componets, rollers, sensor,idler wheel
2) inspect any belt worn or broken.
3)clean with cotton pads, any parts with small amount of alcohol isoprophilic.
4) clean any sensors electric inside very well, and tight connector.normally when some sensor NOT switch back to turn TV.
God bless you

The RCA tv's have the highest breakdown problems in the industry and usually take a slew of parts in the process when they finally quit. Now if you are very lucky you may have bad connections on the main board, but with history these sets carry I'am inclined to run it until it fails completely and buy a new tv.

Hi, there must be something wrong in the power supply circuit, usually because of bad or off value components, if the TV actually gets a picture and cutts off, the power supply could be the circuit to suspect, if the tv does not give a picture, it only does the click and the power light turns on but nothing else happens, there could be something else wrong besides the power supply circuit.

YOU NEED TO CLEAN LASER OR REPLACE IT

I would just hook up the dvd/vhs player with the red,white,yellow rca cables that should of come with your unit and just go to the input on the tv to watch your dvd/vhs player. This will give you a better picture and sound while allowing you not to have to watch dvd/vhs on a channel which helps make the dvd/vhs player independent. Also if possible I would hook the converter box up with the red,white, yellow rca cables to the tv as well if your tv has more than one set of red,white,yellow plugs since it is a better connection that coax and you probably watch more tv than vhs/dvd anyway. So bottom line try to hook up both boxes red,white,yellow and watch each box on different inputs instead of like channel 3 or 4. Also to record of converter box you can run coax from converter box to dvd/vhs combo and make sure your dvd/vhs player is on tuner input or channel 3.

Hi,

Initially, a couple of ideas:

• check the cables from the DVD to the VHS to the TV (I am assuming that the sound is likewise connected to the TV and not to a home receiver system or an amplifier);
• I am assuming again that you are using RCA and not RF, if yes pls pay special attention to the yellow RCA on both the DVD to VHS and VHS to TV;
• diagonal roll often indicates a loose ground or a defective cable/RCA connector;
• verify settings/configurations in all three; DVD, VHS, TV. TV should be set to AV or Video, VHS likewise to A/V INput;
• try playing a known good VHS tape, if normal playback, problem is between DVD and VHS, if likewise no video, problem is between VHS and TV.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

need to find root directory for dvd recorder

The easiest thing to do would be get a new TV plain and simple sounds as if you could use one n e ways. But first make sure you are hooked up through coaxal to the tv that will allow everything to run on channel 3. Let me know your current hookup.

I think you are right about VHS up front.......One more option =
buy a seperate video input switch box..then you wouldn't need
to use front input ........T.

We also don't have a remote. We hooked a DVD/VCR combo to the Samsung combo by attaching the cable from the cable line to the DVD player and an additional cable from DVD to TV and it used to work but after we lost the control, the DVD can only be listened to but not seen. The VHS from the DVD player works perfectly though.

When we had the remote (before connecting the other combo) we used line-in to see a DVD or VHS using the yellow red and white cables from the Samsung to the other player.
