That thing couldn't track ANY tapes,and that was the reason I bought it... to put some OLD movies on DVD. Plus, the remote control was so very cheap. I've seen better ones that come with a fan.
I took that sucker back to the store.

I bought an LG Blu-ray player earlier this week and am pleased with it, except for the remote. I cannot use it with my Insignia flat screen because there are no remote codes listed for that brand. Also, there is no mute button on the LG's remote. Therefore, I reprogrammed my GE (Jasco Products) remote for the Insignia FP and the LG Blu-ray; now everything works perfectly.
I wonder why LG did not include remote codes for Insignia TVs in the code list for the Blu-ray player's remote. I tried every listed code, but no luck.
Is Insignia (the house brand for televisions and video equipment sold by Best Buy) such an oddball, by virtue of having been manufactured from components made by different companies (LG, et al.), that other manufacturers don't bother including remote codes for them?
I would think, since Insignia TVs are built largely from LG parts, the remote codes for LG televisions would work, but they don't. There
are codes for Insignia TVs, however, listed in the instruction manual for the GE (Jasco) universal remotes (at least the one I have). Go figure.
