I have no remote to my 19 in vcr combo, i have direct tv and i need to hook it up, my channel options go from ch.69 to ch.2 therefore i have no inout channels, once i can use the input i can set the direct tv remote to my tv, i need help!!!

You need to autoprogram your channels with the Remote that came with the VCR combo. The Tape issue is common with many older TV VCR combo units. Put a tape in that is rewound and hit stop and then tune in your channels.

Is there a cable antenna connection on the back?

If so, hook the DVD cable out to the TV cable in.

Put the TV on channel 3 or 4.

There may also be RCA jacks so you can hook the audio and video up direct.

Hi,
I cannot be sure of the exact model but... Press and hold the TV's volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously. On many older televisions, this opens the device menu without the use of a remote. Otherwise, use the menu button, which you can navigate in a similar fashion.
Also, somewhere should be an input button. Press it multiple times times to switch between various inputs (the input must match whatever input you are using). Usually after these menus are opened you can use vol up vol down to change things.

If I understand your request right, You do not have cable or satellite box.
You can not record from your TV. You use the TV as a monitor from the dvd/vcr combo box. What the box receives is what shows on the TV. So you will have to have a digital convertor hooked to the (antenna in) dvd/vcr combo box, (antenna out to the tv antenna in) Depending on the antenna you are using that is on the other end of your cable-in coax connection this will hook to your antenna in on the digital convertor box. If your cable is hooked up and operating correctly and directly to the tv that is digital ready you probabbly have a good picture. When the vhf/uhf signal was transmitted you could go from the dvd/vcr to the tv with no problem. But now that the signal is digital and the tv is set for digital the dvd/vcr will not pass a digital signal to the tv. Best suggestion, you have to get a digital dvd/vcr receiver. If you have more question please contact me.

Solution 1

How to set the DVD Recorder+VCR’s RF output channel
Turn off the DVD Recorder+VCR, then press and hold
CH (v/V) on the front panel for about five
seconds to change the RF output channel (CH 03 or
CH 04). “RF 03” or “RF 04” appears on the front panel display.

Solution 2

Cable Service With Cable Box
If a cable box is required in your cable system, follow the
instructions shown below. This hookup permits both TV and
DVD Recorder+VCR operation.
To view or record a CATV channel:
1 Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
2 Set the DVD Recorder+VCR to the output channel of the
cable box using the CH (v / V) or the 0-9 keys on your DVD
Recorder+VCR (e.g., CH3).
3 Select the channel you wish to view on the cable box.

The channel is almost always 3 or 4. Be sure you have the VCR connections correct. Just hook up the TV and VCR alone to start with and try both the VCR and DVD. Also the output of the VCR should show a blue screen.

If you are connecting the dvd/vcr combo to the tv with coax cable first make sure the tv is on channel 3 and also make sure you have the samsung dvd/vcr combo on channel 3 by using the remote that came with the samsung. You should get picture and sound then if not try channel 4 on tv instead of channel 3. If that doesn't work try to put the samsung on channel 4 as a last option to try. This is only recommended if the combo is hooked to tv with coax cable out of combo to in on tv. Make sure coax is plugged into the out jack on combo and in on tv.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/brandon_60dfebff379d64bd

I'd first just hook up the DVD/VCR to the TV and get that working. I'm assuming all you need is the standard cable type connection. This will at least your 4 year old happy. Then you can experiment with the S cable. The S cable will give a cleaner signal from the DVD to the TV. then hook up audio and video cables from the Direct TV to the DVD input. The audio and video will be cleaner using S cables and audio and video cables, but stadard TV cable should get you going. You didn't mention what model DVD player you have. You may have to select the correct inout on the DVD for the Direct TV connection.

hey i sort of hav the same problem except, i cant access the "channel" with my sons game stuff on it
if i click menue then it just givs me "Picture" "Channel Set" "Language" "V-Chip Set-Up" "Captions" and if i click channel set i get "CH{TY}" "CH{CATV}" "CH{DTV/TV}" and v-chip asks me for an access code. and i got this tv from a friend and he lost the remote. i only hav an iO Digital Cable remote. help me plz

The exact OEM replacement remote for that unit is $30.00 plus shipping - just call 1-800-736-6837 and give them the model number of your TV... Not having the remote there is no way into the menu and thus no way to auto program it... Get a remote, access the menu and then hook-up cable and do an auto program.. Good Luck Bill
