Have a problem with this combo unit, when you turn unit on it comes on for about 5 seconds and then shuts off, acts like its trying to load a tape with no tape in the unit. If you turn unit on and insert a tape it will play the tape fine without shutting off, and if you stop tape in the play mode, TV will play O.K., but soon as you eject the tape, unit acts like it wants to reload and then shuts off. I checked alignment and cleaned mode switch with no results. Don't have service info, and cost is $50.00. More than customer wants to spend. Any suggestions before I give up on it?
