This DVD-VCR combo manf. July 2002,would not play audio or DVD disc's.I noticed that the lazer assy seem to have intermittent operation,ie sometimes it would try to focus & the disc would spin,other times it would do nothing & no spin of disc.The ribbon cable connecting the lazer optics assy to the main DVD pcb looked damaged.I ordered a new ribbon cable from ALCO in Markham who are the parts dist. for Venturer.Replacing the ribbon cable cured the intermittent but the unit will only play audio cd,s.Is there a service menu to self align these units.There are 2 pots on the lazer assy marked DVD & CD but would like to know if anyone has info on these Venturer units before I try adjusting the DVD pot.When trying to play any DVD the disc spins but display comes up ''no disc''.Yes I did clean the lazer.........TIA..........
