VCR SAFE Mode

VCR SAFE MODE..

My daughter was playing with the remote. After a while when I tried to watch a movie, the VCR said SAFE on the display and nothing was happening. Based on my research this is what I found. SAFE mode in VCR's is kind of a child lock function. To get out of the mode different VCR companies have different methods.

  1. Press the CH.Lock" or "Child Lock" button on your remote if you have one.
  2. Hold TV/VCR, on remote for 30 seconds.
  3. If it is a universal remote press the VCR button and hold the power button for 10-15 secs.
  4. If all fails , swap the batteries to fresh ones and try the steps again.
  5. If you have lost the remote, buy a universal remote and program it to your VCR.
