I remember when Funai took over Symphonic in the 90s. It wasn't much of a change as Symphonic was already down to junk level. Funai wasn't always junk. They made very rugged stuff in the mid-80s. Those rental players that Blockbuster and others used were made by Funai using Korean transports. Tough things but the performance picture-wise was nothing to brag about. Once they got into the consumer markets they went downhill. I remember an article about them a couple years ago. They were the last outfit still making VHS recorders. 500K a year but they were tossing in the towel and ceasing manufacture of them, probably in China by then. Who would have thought the worst would be the longest survivor?

Ray Rooney Symphonic was a company that made record players in the 1950’s and 1960’s when it comes to portable hi-fi. They also made VCR’s since the 1980’s. Funai is the one that took over Symphonic.

MTN Productions I was working on Symphonic stuff in the late 60s and into the 70s. This actually included consoles with TVs in them (really cheap stuff) and tape recorders (reel-to-reel) and later on, in the 90s, I had the dubious pleasure of working on their then-current stuff, right as Funai took them over. The outfit I worked with at the time was installing plant-wide cable and procurement ignored one of the specs and bought a bunch of Symphonic TV/VCR combos. Not only were they crappy, they were designed with a gap in their cable channel tuning that omitted the channels we were using. They couldn't be returned since procurement had bypassed me and had them modified with plant property metal plates.We ended up having to use cable boxes with them to get any use out of them. The next order was filled with Panasonic sets which worked fine. After that I seldom saw Funai stuff with the exception of the odd VCR, DVD, or DVD/VHS combo, usually branded as RCA. There are actually a couple kicking around here that used to belong to my brother, an RCA combo and an Emerson DVD player that I never even hooked up to try.

Those Funai VCRs made in the 1980s were actually made in Japan and not South Korea. In fact, Funai didn't make the VCRs, Shintom actually made VCRs for Funai until the early 90s when Funai developed its own VCR mechanisms and that's when Funai went downhill.

I can tell you exactly what is wrong with it. there is a mode sensor switch underneath the transport that is in need of a good cleaning. you would have to remove the transport completely from the case to get access to it. once you get access to it, you will need to remove the mode switch (which is located directly over the timing gear on the transport) then spray it out with a contact cleaner that is not harmful to plastics. I have 7 of these in my house & had to do this to every one of them. they had the same exact problem as yours. it is not really hard to fix

Units like that are available around here for a dollar or two in yard sales whose owners claim they work, they just don't need them anymore. Same with DVDs. Really good movies go for $1.00 or $2.00. It is cheaper to pick up the DVDs than convert anything. Only family stuff is worth converting. If you cannot find a remote for the RCA converter, I probably have one I can send you. I have found the smaller units like that RCA fail far more often than the larger units like the Magnavox ones. It is like they overheat or something. Since I used to do all kind of conversions for customers I will probably never be without a VHS unit, even though I may never use it except to exercise it.

Betamax is dead, VHS is dead and so does laserdiscs, they already died since the late 1990's when DVD took over. CED Videodisc also died in 1986 in which RCA doomed the failed format including the CED videodisc player which was a big failure for RCA. In the past, video formats came and went like the Sony U-Matic VCR which was a doomed failure, Avco also put out another doomed video format which was the Cartravision from 1972 which was also a flop, and then, came the EIAJ which was a reel-to-reel video recorder from the late 1960's and early 1970's, and also, the EVR tape which was also a failed format made by CBS in 1969. It has two strips of film on each side. And Motorola also made the EVR tape player. Back in the old days before video tape was film. 8mm, 16mm and Super 8 are the more common film formats of its time. Things has changed since then.

A friend gave me one of these with a Maggotbox brand on it. There was a VCR cleaning tape jammed in it. I literally had to disassemble the whole thing to get the tape out, (40 screws!) but not before the machine broke the front cover off the cleaning tape. There's a plastic sliding bar underneath that controls all the mechanical functions. The plastic was overextended when I got it apart, and a small piece of it broke off. I'm thinking that it's the electronics that breaks, causing the mechanical pieces to overextend, since there's no micro switches to limit movement. All the sequencing is controlled by the electronics. Not fixable IMO.

It is an easy fix, but others have described how to do it. The main problem is getting a remote. If you want to not fix the VCR and use it for DVDs, you will NEED a remote to control the menu items on each DVD, unless you want to watch 25 minutes of trailers, and then only the first episode on a box set. A helpful hint is to grab up any Direct tv or cable box remotes as they can be used as a universal remote. Just find the code for the item and enter it it in and bam!

The belt ran from the little motor to a gear with cams on it that when spun would Extract the transport fingers to the heads and, Lock into play mode. Say, The cam turned clockwise when operating. After the the transport fingers were out, I take my finger and, Give the cam a little push clockwise and, The machine would play. The cause was always the belt from motor to cam being slack.

Yep indeed - the nerve of the neighbors tossing garbage into the garbage! (Just kidding Bryan, juuuust kidding!) But yes it sure was junk from day one. I sometimes wonder why the makers like Funai even wasted their time and our money cutting these things down to the bare minimum when people would pay a little more for some quality and longevity when the format was going out. I still have my father's Samsung that works well, but it was not total junk like that thing was. OH! I tossed an Emerson Wildcat into the dumpster last night as I gave up on the trash Glenburn changer. If word gets out, I might have a Millennial convention here at garbage night ;)

Further to Robert Cikovics advice these switches can usually be satisfactorily cleaned in situ . But if it has to be removed then it should always be done in the VCR tape loaded , stop mode .

Have an Emerson branded version of this in the livingroom. Pretty sure it's identical in construction to this one. Still worked last I checked though the DVD drive is starting to struggle on opening the tray. :P Looks like a machanical problem. Or perhaps a weak belt somewhere? But it's able to fast forward? So maybe not the belt. (and if it only uses one belt for the whole thing then you'd be having a ton of other problems anyways) The VCR powers off due to it detecting a jam. It has to be using a sensor of some kind to detect jams like this. But if the sensor was bad, then you'd have it play like normal then shut off suddenly. But that's not happening so it's a real jam and not it mis-detecting one. So probably something jamming it up. Something broken or debris under it obstructing something. You'd at the least have to detach the mechanism from the PCB to get access to the underside to check for that though. Unless you can take the hole thing out of the case and look at it to check. But if there is something stuck under there you'd probably have to detach the PCB anyways. The pinch roller not engaging is probably not what is preventing it from working. It's probably a symptom of the jam and not the cause. Though if you manage to get it to start playing properly and the roller still doesn't come down then it may start eating tapes. But from I recall VCRs eating tapes tends to be from that roller doing nasty things so if it's not even coming down to touch the tape, one would think it would be less likely to eat a tape. The rest of the mechanism doesn't eat your tapes when you do manage to get it to fast forward though so this probably won't crop up for you on this one. :D Could also just be a lubrication issue. The VCR seems just barely able to get the motor to spin it up when fast forwarding (with it failing to fast forward on the first tape you tried but working on the second one). But it sends less power to the motor during playback and it just stalls. So that may be your issue? Maybe the motor that drives that spindle is on a belt and not direct drive or using gears and the belt just needs replacing. You'd have to look under there to see either way. The Emerson VCR I had did this for a bit when my sister's toddler kept jamming toys into the VCR slot and a couple times had to take the thing apart and fish out what ever the toddler put into it. :P Even had to take apart my sister's RCA branded 20 inch CRT TV which had a built in VCR for the same issue. Though in all the cases for this, the toys would either obstruct the mechanism that lowers the tape down or the mech that pulls the tape out to the heads. So hard to tell where it's failing for you. Luckily though I was able to fish out all the crap my little nephew would put in there without having to do surgery on the thing and it worked fine afterwords. The RCA tv was a bit of a pain to work on though. Had to pull the PCB out since the VCR is attached to it and that's not a fun task to do for most CRT TVs. :P Only time I ever want to bother pulling a PCB out is if I'm going to be doing something like re-capping it. Not fishing out toys that I can't get access to from the front or top because there's a big glass tube in the way. :P

It's going to be one of my projects to get it going again and man is that thing heavy. It has 300 ohm twin lead terminals, no 75 coax lol... inside a Big old transformer in that thing.

You need to literally take every screw out of the unit to get to the bottom of it, remove the DVD mech & pull out all ribbon cables & then, once u remove the vcr deck/ciruit board, u gotta un-solder the video head motor drive cable & the capstan motor drive cable to remove the vcr deck from the circuit board, THEN< carefully snap the top off the mode switch, clean it with a pinch of steel wool on the end of a que tip soaked in alcohol, blow it out/dry with a compressor to dry it & remove any steel wool fragments, snap the top back on & set it so that the plastic pin goes int the corresponding hole on the bottom of the main cam, reassemble & it SHOULD work like new again! It's a common problem w/ those VCR decks! Not worth messing with IMO unless ur in the mood to attempt such in-depth surgery!.

This one not mode switch, It is definitely a broken plastic tab on pinch roller holder that holds lever in place it the lower tab, I replaced a few over the years. What happening is that lever jump out of cam as plastic tab not holding it in place anymore. Yes Funai have a common issue with mode switch but this one not the case. I repaired over 700 of these over the years as refurbished them and resell and they have other issues as well. This one I know 100% it is that plastic holder. It the bottom tab that slide in mechanism holding lever in place not the top part holding the pinch roller assembly in place. I have that part as spares as keep a few around. You do have to put back lever in round slot on mechanism and edge of lever to top of sliding area on pinch roller assembly it under tension due to spring loaded. Then slide plastic tab in mechanism while holding in place and then top into slot to lock in pinch roller assembly, I can fix it easy.

The issue is (most likely) the inner wall of the cam gear that guides the pressure roller linkage has broken. doubtful the timing of the mechanism is off because it will still load, ff, rew & eject correctly. The real pain is that I believe this is one of the later versions that the mechanism is hard wired to the main board, earlier versions had connectors. I agree that the mode switch should be cleaned once the real problem is solved but the mode switch isn't causing this! That cam gear is making a full rotation its just not taking the pressure roller with it. definitely fixable, definitely time consuming and definitely not worth the effort unless you just happen to have a parts unit laying around.

Those machines were my bread and butter back in the day, made a killing servicing this flimsy Chinesium crap. Probably the problem is something to do with the cam on the underside of the vcr , looks like it could have popped of track or got bent when someone pulled a tape out that it ate. Those machines had a reputation of eating tapes when reviewing tape while still playing . Not too bad to work on, 4 screws hold the whole vcr to the base, the front simply unclips. The plugs are fitted to the circuit board and the underside of the vcr chassis, plugs and unplugs when the 4 chassis screws are in line. One thing good is they are easy enough to find parts for they had numerous brand names, and the parts are pretty much unchanged for about 1998 - 2000 to the last ones made.

It not the top tab that holds the pinch roller but the lower tab that slide in the mechanism that breaks on these and lever jumps out of cam gear. On the older ones was a common issue, the newer revision one they revise it with better plastic that doesn't crack and thicker. I do a video on one but a easy fix if you have other Funai cheaper decks laying around find them all the time at thrift stores for 6 bucks.

Hmm, looks like the previous owner of this DVD/VCR was a smoker. I would recommend just dumping it, possibly salvaging the DVD player section for transplanting into another similar unit with a bad DVD player. The mode switch seems to look like it's working okay; the head drum spins up upon cassette insertion and it doesn't eat the tape when you eject the cassette. Switch mode problems with this Funai chassis tend to be one of these two items having problems, if not both of them. What looks to be the problem with the pinch roller not engaging can be due to a broken plastic piece which serves at least two functions: it holds the cassette tape lid open when it's loaded into the chassis and it also retains the pinch roller mechanism parts, starting with the pinch roller arm. This plastic piece may have a part of it broken off anywhere this piece is retained onto the sheet metal chassis. If this is the case, then it can't hold the pinch roller mechanism together, which can cause the pinch roller not to pinch the tape to the capstan when the VCR is in the PLAY mode.

Awful machines. I had two of them and neither lasted more than two years. The first one, a Panasonic, was replaced five times before I threw it in th bin two days after the warranty ran out! Rare machines now in working order as most were trashed when they were new!

I've been Converting VHS to DVD, but with DRM enable, (inside), you'll get a *nasty gram* telling you that you can't copy this. If you own a Keurig coffee Machine, it won't allow you to brew an illegal cup! But someone on a KZitem showed that by opening up the unit, and cutting the green wire; It will NOT pester you any longer that you have an 'UN-Approved' Keurig K-Cup. That would be great if we could do that to the A/V unit like the one you have! --- Maybe it might be labeled DRM on the PCB. But, obviously you still have another issue not playing. I have a Raspberry Pi connected to a 6TB External drive and when I have them ALL converted to MP4's They play great. There is another problem that 1 DVD Ripper won't do ALL. So I have a collection of programs to handle that problem. Now everyone in the house can login to watch whatever.

Just saw this one today. The pinch roller won't engage even if the capstan is in motion whenever the load or pull tape sprocket is not advancing. The VCR is designed to shut off then for the sake of the tape to not somehow get snapped or damaged by the video heads constant running over the same spot. Most likely cause is either the belt slipping or worn out (on those with belt drive) or rubber wheel is worn (on those with a wheel drive system). Forget the VCRs and move on up to the RCA CED videodisc system, the ultimate in analog recording of both video and audio on a 12" vinyl disc. My offer still stands of a free working RCA player and several movies too, of your choice, which I will ship to you and pack properly at no cost, just so you can get started in this unique media format. Edison would be proud!

The way it rewinds and fast forwards with the tape fully threaded makes me squirm. Don't FF or Rewind any treasured tape in that thing.

appears to be the mode encoder switch, its under the bottom of the vcr frame. not hard to clean and repair but a PITA to get to them. Most people know nothing about this because its buried. Tthey do differ from model to model but usualy the same. here is a vid from 12voltvids cleaning one, search his page and you can find several models. kzitem.info/news/bejne/1ouAnJVvcXRplXo

Pretty basic VCR, I would be checking the belts on the capstan roller by looking from underneath as it’s a very simple looking unit......VCR’S are my specialty for repairing etc as most of them are really basic like this one! My parents have a AWA combo VCR/DVD, the DVD player crapped itself but the VCR still works well.

I tell you a good way to get remotes for stuff you come across without them I got hold of a old cell phone Samsung S5 it has a remote emitter in it and if you take the phone hook it up to Wi-Fi and download the peel remote app from the play store you can pretty much get any remote for any device

I had a Sony DVD/VCR combo unit I do not think it was built to this low of a standard..This unit has only 2 heads in the VCR playback head where the Sony I had 4 to 6 heads in the VCR playback head and a whole bunch of mumble jumbo marketing as to why their head playback system was muchoos better than everyone else...lol
