Magnavox VCR /DVD recorder combo , VCR turns off after 5-10 seconds
I have a Magnavox VCR/DVD-Recorder combo , I just purchased in order to transfer old VHS tapes to DVD. I just realized the VCR shuts off completely after about 5-10 seconds . It doesn`t just stop the tape, it turns off the unit. I tried the DVD and that one works without any problems . Can anybody tell me what the problem is and how to fix it?

Our similar machine won't stay on longer than 5 seconds and shuts down before we even have time to put in a tape. We finally did get a tape in but it shut down right away. These are not 'copyrighted' tapes. Anyone got any solutions?

When the VCRs sit for a while the belts can cease up. If you open them up and work the gears manually they will often regrease themselves and the VCR will start working again.
