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.
With most dvd/vcr combo units there is separate wiring. When I use my emerson combo unit I have it wired that I have to be on different inputs on my tv to view a dvd and a vhs. On some units the vcr portion is wired via a regular cable line, while the dvd portion is wired with the yellow, red, and white component cable. Try inserting a dvd and scrolling through your tv inputs until you find the picture or check your wiring to ensure nothing has come loose. If that has no result you could try wiring it differently if possible to eliminate that as a possibility.
alot of times when the video cord gets pinched it will go to black and white you just have to replace it if that dont work. then its one of the machines.
I have the same problem. I pushed the EZ View button to see what it would do and I lost all picture to the DVD but the VCR worked fine. I searched the WEB ALOT.... and there seems to be alot of this but no help! Well - GOOD NEWS- I have your rescue - if you haven't thrown the dang thing out yet. I went to the Samsung website and here is how to reset the V4600. Turn the unit on, then press the Fast Forward AND the Rewind buttons at the same time and hold down for 15 seconds. WHala... It's all back! Here's a link so others can view it. It gives the reset for all machines. They ARE different.
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
