Bush DVHRS02 "WAIT" error?

This combo has been out of use for a while then I decided to bring it back into use. When I switch it on I get "ON" signal on the units LCD screen for about 3 seconds, during which it selects the correct channel on the TV, then the LCD changes to "WAIT" followed by three flashing bars. From then I can do nothing with either the buttons on the unit itself or the remote control. Has anyone else had this problems and, more importantly, has anyone for a fix for it.
