Thanks for the recommendation about the VCR problems. This TV is much easier
to service than the old 9 and 13 inch Funai combos of the past. Looks like
I am missing the 12 volts going to the VCR and DVD. I guess it's time for a
schematic...
Just figured I'd post the question in hopes I would be lucky enough to find
someone that had the same problem with this model....

I have same problem in Sylvania VCR/TV. The problem is in VCR - one of the
gears came off - it's very hard to get to the VCR - you have to take the
whole thing apart, and it's also very hard to put that gear back on and
get
it in correct spot. I gave up on that 13" piece of crap.

Daniel,

I appreciate the suggestions. No novice here. Just retired from the
business
and I still enjoy troubleshooting....

More than likely the problem is in the VCR or possibly the DVD
mechanism..... if there is a mechanical or electronic problem in
the
VCR
tape or cassette loading mechanism this can cause the symptoms you
described.
These are just about impossible for the inexperienced novice to
troubleshoot
or repair..... my best advice to you is for you to TAKE it to a
service
shop
for a professional hands-on opinion, otherwise all you will get on
the
internet or the phone is guesses.

This is regarding a Sylvania model SRCD227 27" combo that's about
2
years
old. This group has helped me in the past with these combo units,
I'm
hoping
someone will recognize this problem and maybe a couple of diodes
will
fix
it. I have no schematic.
What I have is a TV that will power up. You can get an excellent
(off-air)
picture for a few seconds and then it will shut off. D2645 appears
to
have
been running a little hot....not sure if this is related although
the
diode
checks good on the ohm meter. All of the other diodes in this area
also
check good with the meter and there doesn't appear to be any
shorts
at
the
diodes outputs. Another clue is there doesn't seem to be any power
to
the
motor in the DVD player and the VCR doesn't go through it's self
test
when
first plugged in.
If anyone has had a similar problem and could make a suggestion or
if
someone has access to a schematic and would be willing to forward.

TIA,
Steve
