I can not switch to game mode to play dvd player without original remote

You can probably use the front panel buttons (STOP PLAY OPEN/CLOSE etc) manually, the only thing you cannot do without the remote is access certain DVD menus, including subtitles/language/special features etc. You can always obtain and use a universal remote for basic menu functions later on if necessary.

To play a DVD movie without the remote, simply load your preferred disc, wait for the player to finish reading its contents, then to skip copyright warnings and/or the 'play movie' menu screen, press STOP, then PLAY, or simply press PLAY button where 'play movie' (or whatever function) is highlighted in the menu. These buttons should be on the front of the main unit. Doing this should encourage the player to detect the appropriate title (the movie) and play it (basic playback operation may not be possible with some DVD releases due to the numerous interactive menus and title pages, such as film trailers).

If basic manual operation is not completely possible with some DVD titles, consider a universal remote for your player if you have either lost your original, or the player was purchased/received without one. Such remotes are relatively inexpensive to purchase, and are available just about everywhere.

get the dvd player len cleaned using a len cleaner.
are you operating the unit with the remote when find the mentioned issue try manually.

I have found a remote control website where an original or off-brand remote can be purchased:

did you try to switch the tv modes Ex. my tv has av 1 av 2 comp 1 comp 2 does it have those modes

Go to Radio Shack and get an universal remote control, i have a Phillips Universal for mine. it has a tv/vcr button that also is an "input" button to switch channels to do this.

Hi, all you have to do is go past Channel 2 and the screen on t.v. will say Line that is where you will watch all your DVD movies...

Good Luck as I had the same problem when I first hooked up the dvd player to the t.v. , I thought I was going crazy , turned out it was simple... Enjoy ...

I got mine off of game mode by using a universal remote. I had to type in a channel, (03) and it got it out of game mode, but I now have the problem of not being able to get it back into game mode so that I can use my DVD player. Good luck

Just try to initialize THE plager again. Without cd in the player switch on the power while pressing the Play, Open and Next Track button. On the display it says " initialized" Ready. Frits van Heekesen Nijmegen The Netherlands

Try using words to form sentences next time.
Don't lose the remote; tie a scarf on it with a key-finder in it and a pesto or frosting saran pack in the battery compartment if you have to.  You do.
Because now, you get to go buy a universal remote and program it, or use a universal remote program on a PalmPilot, cellphone, or IrDA-equipped PC.

Alternately, you could take advantage of any automatic input priorities the TV set has which are compatible with your game cabling.

Do you have the original remote control?. Without it you will not be able to switch to video or to the TV mode. If you do have the Original remote hand unit, look for a button call input or video. A universal will not work so please do not waist your hard earnd cash. Good Luck
