Hi, I have a Magnavox VCR (maybe 4 years old at the most) and it suddenly stopped working. It turns on and that is about it. If I change to channel 3 on my TV the VCR doesn't show up. The PWR light is on but beside it, it just says - : - - no matter what I do. The remote works but the only thing I can get it to do is turn on and off and switch VCR/TV. I have cable plugged into the IN and a cable going from OUT to IN on my TV. The cable works if the VCR is on TV mode. If anyone has any idea what is wrong and/or how I can fix it, your help is very much appreciated.

Thank you

Unplug it and plug it back in. If it doesn't work, scrap it. Magnavox=Funai, not worth fixing.

I've unplugged it many times so I dunno. I guess I can toss it, but it really seems like it would work I just have no clue what to do. I think it must be something really simple. If you need more detail on what's going on I can tell you.

I am having a problem with my Philips Magnavox VCR+PLUS #VRA633AT21. When i plug it into the wall outlet the letters "PL" appears then disappears. I try to push play or anything an nothing happens. When i insert a tape into it, it takes the tape inside but it does not play. Sometimes it will eject, sometimes it won't. Could someone please help!?!? Thanks alot.

PL may stand for parental lock, read the manual on how to disable it.
