We have a combo Panasonic TV/VCR and the tape has gotten stuck several times. We unplugged the TV, waited a few seconds, and we replugged it in while holding the eject button at the same time on the VCR and it has worked every time. Hope it works for you.

∙ 12y agoThe broadcast or cabled signal from the television is sent to the VCR to be recorded on a magnetic tape. When replayed, the VCR sends the signal back to the television. Because so much information has to be stored, the tape must pass the head of the VCR at a very high speed. As the tape passes the head, the signals are recorded in diagonal tracks across the tape.

∙ 16y agoThat was a problem. You have to keep monkeying with it. Try it with the machine unplugged. Try pushing tape back in repeatedly. Try pushing tape in and down if possible. You just have to keep workign at it. unplug it, then take the srews off of the back of it which will remove the top cover off of it. then the inside of it will be exposed and you can gain easier acces in retrieving the tape and getting it out

I bought a RCA Universal Remote Control (Model RCRN03BR) and had to use a VCR code to make this TV/VCR work.The code begins with a "2" because it is a VCR Code. TV's start with a "1".The code is 20081.With this remote, you must do the advance programming to reassign the DVD/VCR button to VCR (it defaults to DVD).Press and hold DVD/VCR button, the power button will illuminate, then press the number 2 and power light will shut off, now release DVD/VCR button and it will work!
