    What to do if Presidian DVD VCR Combo remote control not working?
    • M
      mccartymariaAug 21, 2025
      If your Presidian DVD VCR Combo isn't responding to the remote, ensure the power plug is connected and the remote's batteries are working. Aim the remote directly at the sensor within 23 feet, removing any obstacles. Verify the correct mode (DVD or VCR) is selected on the remote. Also, check if there's a cassette tape in the unit. To test the remote, tune a radio to an empty AM station, turn up the volume, and listen for signal sounds when pressing remote buttons.
