Sylvania 6313CG Cheap-O Combo Question

[Dan Schafer]

Hi All
My buddy gave me this less than 4 year old Sylvania model 6313CG, TV VCR combo. to lok at for him. I won't even dream of trying to fix the VCR in it. The VCR will not stay in the stop mode. It goes from stop to Rewind to eject & the tape door does a flip then back to stop then repeats the cycle over & over as long as the set is on. However, as a monitor it would be OK. Is there a way to by-pass the VCR & just use the monitor? It would be a usable monitor if the VCR would just stay off without the VCR display messages on the screen. I don't have the service schematic for this one. Does Sam's Photofacts still even print such data anymore? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
