I have lost the remote for my magnavox vc/dvd -- to set the timer you have to turn off the vcr and press the "timer button" where a little red light comes on.

I decided I would try to reprogram my universal remote -- fortunately last night I got it to work following the instructions on the forum -- I can turn the tv off, but have to manually turn it on, no problem there -- as long as the channel and volume works it's fine.

I couldn't get the dvd to program but I could play,rewind and record on the vcr and pull up the menu, however I could not use the menu. Then for some reason unknwon reason the timer button is "on" and now I can't use the vcr at all -- I can't turn off the timer button, now my vcr won't work at all.

I use my timer programs every day,

anyone else have this problem? thanks
