Yes especially Funai based sets had a common failure with this issue with the tape loading tray. I had a 19" Emerson (Funai) that used a Built-in DVD and VCR and when the tape tray jammed it would shut the TV off. On that set I gave up on the VCR because it was trashed, I bypassed the photo sensor and tricked the TV to stay on. It was for a group home so they didnt really care about the VCR portion. The VCR wouldn't have broken if one of the guys didn't try jamming things into the tray.. I found quarters, scissors, food and other things in there that I was quite surprised it didnt short the whole thing out. There was a quarter laying on the plastic tray right under the flyback with some arcing on the quarter that actually melted into the plastic bottom!!
I would have not pulled this thing apart to fix it if the tray didn't start clicking and popping when the TV was turned on to immediately shut the TV off in 5 seconds
