Those blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices.

If blinks continue without any pause, or the LED light stationery; the main board is faulty.
Search the site by type in the "brand name" to your device; [Exclude the model number], in the "Search box at the top right of the display window of the Homepage" to get gathered related posts.

SOURCE: I bought the Magnavox DVD/VCR

Connect the cable to the VCR cable input. Connect the small cable provided with the VCR from the cable output on the VCR to the cable input on your TV.

The VCR will most likely work on channel 3 or 4, so put your TV on channel 3 and see if your VCR remote will change channels, if not try channel 4. (your owners manual should tell you which channel to use).

Make sure that the VCR display says VCR and not DVD. If it says DVD, use the remote DVD/VCR button to change it back to VCR.

Press the Setup button and enter the time and date. Refer to the manual to see how to set up the unit to automaticly record your programs for you.

If you want to record now, insert a blank tape, change to the channel you want and press record. Then press the TV/VCR button so you can watch different channels while the VCR is recording your program.

When finished recording, put the unit back on channel 3 or 4 (which ever your machine uses) and press the TV/VCR button to activate the VCR. Press stop, rewind and play to start watching your recording.

SOURCE: Magnavox DVD recorder...finalizing problem

The manual isn't too helpful either - "Recording error other than below," it says. There are a couple of possibilities. The Philips/Magnavox/Funai recorders automatically record in VR mode when you use +R discs (there are two possible recording modes - V Mode and VR Mode). Is it possible that you have switched disc types lately? If you are currently using -R discs, switch to +R and vice versa. The manual states that +/-RW discs take a while to initialize.

I couldn't find a full factory reset on that one, so you may have to unplug the unit for about 20 minutes to restore all the defaults.

Another possibility: Finalization requires some extra space on the disc. If you accidentally pressed the button that changes the recording format between SP, EP, LP, etc., you may not be able to fit the same amount of video on the disc that you were able to fit before. You can change the format by pressing the Disc Mode button on the remote - LP Mode will fit 3 hours worth of recordings onto a 2-hr disc and is considered a "medium quality" recording. Try changing the Disc Mode to LP and see if it will finalize the next disc that you record. The downside of this possibility is that the discs that you have already made that are giving you errors are not "fixable" - you will will have to re-record the shows to a new disc in LP mode.

Good luck!

I have a Magnavox clo358 universal remote what are the codes for my Magnavox DVD VCR combo

To program your Magnavox DVD VCR combo using the Magnavox CLO358 universal remote, you can try the following codes:

0503
0675
1153
1203
1321
Here's how you can program the remote:

Turn on your Magnavox DVD VCR combo manually.
Press and hold the "Code Search" button on the remote until the indicator light turns on.
Release the "Code Search" button.
Press and release the mode button for the device you want to program (in this case, the DVD VCR combo). The indicator light should remain on.
Enter one of the codes listed above using the numeric keypad on the remote. The indicator light should turn off after entering the code.
Aim the remote at the DVD VCR combo and press the "Power" button. If the device turns off, the code is correct. If not, repeat steps 4 to 6 with the next code on the list.
If none of the codes work, or if you have any other issues, it's recommended to consult the user manual of your Magnavox CLO358 universal remote for additional instructions and a complete list of codes.
