Zenith XBV442 DVD Player/VCR Questions & Answers
While playing the VHS the player switches from VCR
Hi, it sounds like either the eject button on the DVD player drawer has been damaged or the remote is in need of cleaning (I assume the remote to have an eject button too). you can remove the remote by removing a battery and seeing if the problem stops.
Best you remove the tape from the DVD drawer as this will not stop the DVD mechanism from trying to open the tray, bit like trying to constantly push against a locked door - you will cause damage if it hasn't already.
VCR tape stuck in machine
First unplug the VCR then you can carefully unscrew the screws that hold the body to the base of your machine and you can carefully remove your tape !?!
DVD/VCR stuck in Progressive scan mode
With NO DISK in the DVD player PRESS PLAY, (display will say "no disk" or something similar) then PRESS STOP AND HOLD FOR 5-10 SECS.
Our DVD was stuck on Progressive Scan Mode for over 1 year, this fixed it. I had tried the press stop, press stop and hold while playing a movie, but not while there was no disk.
Try it & Good Luck!!!!!!!!
How to turn off progressive scan without remote
You should have manual controls on the face of the unit to bypass the remote functions. If the current remote is failing, try a Universal Remote. The only way to get a complete answer is to read the manual that came with your device, or go on line to the Zenith Co. web site and seek support.
