20 Most Recent Sony SLV-D360P DVD Player/VCR Questions & Answers

Jeff/360Powner,

Tony/sonydvdvcr here,

I hope this helps. I have been unsuccessful in getting this to fix the tape player, but my sony dvd vcr slv360p unit now works and the dvd plays great. Still working on the tape part. Good Luck!

A few days ago when I was searching online for a solution to my own problem, I came across fixya. After posting the exact same problem as yourself, I began to remove the tape from the unit. Thinking I would have to cut the tape, I attempted to remove the video cassette without cutting it. I was successful. Here are the steps I took:

1. Remove the outer casing.

2. Remove the approx. 8" bar (2 screws) across the VHS entry area. (You can do with or without removing face of player. Be careful if done without)

3. Remove 4 or 5 screws in base holding the entire video assembly to floor.

4. Next, is the tricky part. First determine if the tape is one you want to salvage. If so, slide the tape film out of the roller areas where it is strewd out while it was being rewound so it is free, otherwise cut it. You will then have to pry the VHS up in the front through the entry door and push from the rear. Might have to try a few times, walk away, then try some more. But it will come free. Tension can be eased by simultaneously prying on the sidetabs holding the cassette in the player. Careful not to break tabs.

5. Once tape is free, you may be done, but I kept on in uncertainty.

6. Next I removed the entire video tape assembly by raising it off the tall pointed posts enough to clear them but not too much where you put excessive strain on the several computer bands that are attached.(I did not disconnect those, just be careful)

7. Raise the assembly off of the floor and then replace. There is a slim narrow plug style deal that is fixed to the floor that the assembly rests in. I believe this is significant to allow the player to reset.

8. Check power now before you replace everything. You should see the tape assembly physically reset and disengage from the rewind position.

9. Replace assembly and bar and face accordingly.

I hope this helps. I have been unsuccessful in getting this to fix the tape player, but my unit now works and the dvd plays great. Still working on the tape part. Good Luck!

Open the door to the DVD.. You will see a white plastic wheel inside with "teeth"- like a gear. Use something small to turn the wheel to the right. When it feels like it won't go any further give it a little extra turn and the drawer should pop open. Make sure you are turning it to the right (clockwise)

Hello,

Very commonly when the power goes out the memory on the VCR blanks out. Therefor you will have to re-setup your VCR to record the programs.

Thanks

I have a new Samsung Blue Ray player. I cannot figure out how to eject the DVD. Can anyone hepl me. I do not see an eject button on it anywhere.

Hi,

If your dvd player did not turn on, then,it is very possible the internal fuse burnt out. If not the fuse, then possibly the power supply burnt out.

You can test the power supply with a voltmeter.

Thanks.

Hi,

If the unit is not powering on at all first check to make sure there is power coming from the AC outlet. Plug another appliance in to the outlet such as a radio or lamp to ensure the power is coming through the socket. If there is no power check that a trip switch has not been activated or mains fuse blown.

Make sure that the AC power cord to the player is securely connected. If the unit is still not powering up then I suggest you make direct contact with Sony as the unit will require service repair.

Contact details for Sony are in the instruction booklet that I have included below at no 2.

If you have power to the unit and it is lighting up the display please download and refer to these instruction manuals for further instruction on the correct set up for the unit.
