Hi. In most cases the reason you get this problem on DVD players, Vcrs, Cable boxes is down to electrolytic capacitors in the power supply. Look for any caps that are bulging or may have wet stain on the circuit at the bottom of them. Any bulging or leaky caps will need replacing. Im not familiar with this machine so sorry I cant give you position numbers.

Anytime your unit displays RC1, 2, or 3 - the remote code needs to be reset. Other messages are "chk remote n" or "set n", n being the number 1, 2 or 3. These remote codes are set in case you have multiple products that interact w/ the remote - so when operating one device the other doesn't interfere. Unfortunately, every now and then for completely unknown reasons, they can slip out of the proper code. All you have to do (if your remote is, in fact, functional) is press and hold the number on the remote that corresponds with that which displays on the unit - in your case the number 3, and hold the Enter key at the same time for about 5 to 10 seconds. This should resume operation shortly thereafter. However, you will not see any confirmation on the display as you are performing this reset. It is trial and error.
