Try pressing the TV/VCR button on the remote to select VCR mode, ensuring the TV indicator disappears from the display. Also, check that the video cable is securely connected and that your TV is powered on.

      Matthew RamirezAug 30, 2025
      If the playback picture on your Goldstar DVD VCR Combo is poor, try cleaning the disc. If you're playing a tape, the tape heads may be dirty, so you should clean the video heads. If the tape is a rental or was recorded on another VCR, use the v/V buttons to manually adjust the tracking while the tape is playing.

    Why is there no Audio/Video Record and/or Playback on my Goldstar GBV241?

      Michael DavisSep 2, 2025
      If your Goldstar DVD VCR Combo has no audio or video record and/or playback, it could be due to several reasons. If you are using broadcast program, it might not be in stereo format. Ensure the DVD VCR A/V Out jacks are connected to the TV A/V In jacks, as stereo is only available via A/V output. Select AUX or A/V source as TV input. Check that the DVD VCR BROADCAST TYPE mode is set to STEREO.
