Sir DaveR . . . . .
Seems like either you or some rug rats randomly kadoodling with all of the remote controls buttons got it into " C lock" mode.
NO . . .that's not Channel Lock . . . but CHILD lock.
If you do find that button on your remote *****, hold it down while the remote is being pointed at the VCR for about 10 seconds, to be sure.
NO GO . . . ? . . .then hold the power button down for a like length of time.
Lastly . . .commit suicide . . . . . .o r r r r r r r . . . . .take out the remotes batteries and contemplate your navel for about 5 minutes and then reinstall them and power up the unit and then see what happens.
***** We don't even know if you are using the RCA FACTORY ORIGINAL remote, so we may have need of a closeup of the remotes button tops / side labels.
Thasssssssssit . . . .
