Hello, I have a Magnavox VCR/DVDR Combo unit that needs repair (Model No. ZV427MG9). I cannot find any local businesses in a 50 mile radius at my zip code 19804 that service VCR's. I know VCR's are basically obsolete, but I wanted to transfer old VHS to DVD and this is actually my fathers unit. The unit does power up and the DVDR works fine. The issue is that the unit will not play any VHS tapes. Once the tape is inserted, the unit will pull the tape to the head and then power down. Once I power the unit back up, it will disengage the tape from the head and eject. I was hoping someone in this forum could recommend a person or business. I am willing to ship the unit out. Thanks!!

Hi all, I've been lurking a while to reading advice, but am a first time poster. I've just got my Atari 2600 and am so excited because I get to re-live all the memories I had as a child when I used to have one. I've read many of the forums on connecting it up but not 100% sure on the solution so would like to check something before going ahead. My problem comes with my TV. This particular TV does NOT have a F-type Coax input connector or component/composite input. It only has a non-screw coax out, HDMI, USB, SCART and the connection for the TV Aerial which I think you call RF input. This is the TV http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/tvs-brackets/polaroid-42-led-hd-tv-series-1/000554128,default,pd.html I have plugged the RCA from the Atari directly into the TV RF input. I get a good picture and it all works but I get no sound, just loud white noise. I understand that this is because the RF inputs can't handle both so I need another option. Looking at Switchboxes etc they still seem to have the F-type screw in for the Coax input so that's no good. So the only option I can think of is this: Can I plug the Atari RCA into a second hand VCR's aerial input and then use the scart from the VCR to the TV? Would that work? There may be a gadget or something else you may suggest but I don't understand the RF Modulator/demodulator thing. Is that an option and if so can someone point me in the right direction to the right one to buy? I assume it would go from RCA to HDMI or does that not work? Any advice would be more than welcome and hopefully once I am up and running I look forward to chatting about playing the Atari again for the first time in 30+ years. Many thanks. Tec.

Hey all, I recently purchased a Philips VG8020/00 MSX Home Computer. I'm having some trouble getting a decent video signal out of the thing. When I hook it up to my VCR/DVD Combo via the RF out and convert the signal into composite, I get a glitchy screen, jumping from left to right, going from color to black and white. However, the MSX boot up text is present, and when I press keys on the keyboard, they do get added to the screen. I used the automatic tuning options on my VCR/DVD combo, but it sadly does not improve the quality. I also tried connecting a Sega Mega Drive RGB connector to the Monitor out on the computer, but that didn't do anything apart from making some pop noises. I might have to get a different cable to test that out. I also know for sure that my set-up isn't the problem; I've connected other coaxial game-consoles the same way (Atari 2600, Videopac G7000) and they all work. The unit looks fine and all (no mayor external damage). What I did notice though, was some noises inside the machine when I held it sideways; there could be some dirt in there. Also, some buttons get stuck from time to time (especially the directional buttons). I'll open it up and give it a good clean one of these days. Has anyone here experienced similar problems and got them solved? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! I hope the damage (if it has any) is not to severe; would be awesome to get it up and running again! Thanks!

Hey all, This is my first post here on the forums, so hi everybody! I adore classic gaming and I absolutely love my woodgrained six-switcher Atari VCS / 2600 System I bought a while ago. I love it so much in fact that I want to record the game footage off of the console. So I've searched the net and in many video's and topics I came across the word 'VCR' and 'DVD Recorder' so I went watching for one of those things. The thing is though that most of the topics are from overseas (I live in Europe myself, The Netherlands) so some inputs on the backs of the recorders are different. For instance, I don't have to connect a 'F-connector' to connect the output plug of the Atari into the VCR or DVD Recorder. So, in short; I did not find that much info about it in my own region. This is the method I think will work (I'm not into video electronics or anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong - just my intuition speaking here.) DVD/VCR Combo Player (HR-XV28S, Pictures & English Manual attached below). 1. My Atari VCS output plug will be connected to the AERIAL on the DVD/VCR Combo Player. 2. I will then use the RF.OUT to connect it to my ANTENNA IN on my television to see and hear what I'm actually playing. 3. I will then use the DVD/VCR OUT composite signal to connect it to my capture device and hit record on that. So, here are my questions: -Does a VCR/DVD player duplicate the antenna signal to a composite signal? (So that it comes out of RF.OUT and DVD/VCR OUT like I described above, I'm not certain about this.) -if it does, can I use it as a passtrough device (meaning, without recording anything on VHS or DVD-R) and send it directly into my capture device? Or does it need to record on physical media? -If not; does the signal only come out of one of the two outputs? (composite for example; I'm able to split this signal with some cheap AV 1-to-2 Splitters) Is this the correct setup (and way of thinking) for recording an Atari or any other coaxial retro gaming device? I really want to know! I hope you guys can help me with this, I've been struggeling with it for a while now. Thanks! HR-XV28S Manual.pdf
