Title:

VCR-DVD Player(s) Issues

Text:

I have a Magnavox MDW2205 VCR/DVD Player that plays VHS tapes fine, but the DVD side slowly looses color the longer it's on until it stops outputting color completely.

I have a Toshiba D-VR5SU DVD Recorder/VCR that plays DVDs fine, but the VCR side plays tapes with a jumpy picture and lots of noise, though sound is absolutely fine. When I first received it, the VCR portion functioned fine. Since it has been in my possession, the remote has not worked. I tested the remote on a similar model a friend had and the remote itself is fine, the VCR I have just won't receive any infrared input (I tried a third party generic remote as well with no success.)

I would love to get one (or both!) working instead of having to string together both machines to make a complete working unit.
