I have lost the Installation manual and my DVD does net respond to the remote control, the player displays " DR - off every time a button is pressed, can anyone advise me on how fix this?
Ok you need to press STAR Button which says mode above it and either 1,2 or 3 to find which freqency is being use. The dvd and the remote need to be on the smae on.

It is confusing to many people this function, but not impossible to investigate (perhaps experiment with some of the functions). You can get a copy of the INSTALLATION GUIDE (if you don't have a copy for any reason) from the following:
(copy and paste into your browser if required - these are both FREE documents)
(Page 48 of the installation guide (not the owner's manual) tells you about IR CODE setup option using remote - read that first if you like, then try your recorder).
Check pages 44 and 45 of the installation guide (not the owner's manual.) It will tell you how to change the recorder & the remote from DR 1 to DR 2 or DR 3. To change the remote you hold the * button plus 1,2 or 3 to change the remote.
I received an attachement from the Toshiba Repair folks several months ago, when we had the same problem. To resolve it, do the following:
While pressing the Easy Navi button on the remote, press 2. The remote control mode will be set to DR 2, which is what the recorder is telling you it is set to.
We encountered this problem for the first time, for no apparent reason. It happened again today, after the operator dropped the remote. This fix worked both times.
Press the HDD and DVD bottons on the player at the same time it will then show DR2 when remote is pressed. Press mode key and the number 2 key on remote, this should now work
There is most likely nothing wrong with your remote. I just had exactly the same issue with my SE-R0161 remote. (I had just changed my remote batteries too and was getting a DR-2 code on the Toshiba DVR RD-XS52 unit's display.) My DVR and my remote had to be realigned so that they both have the same infared (IR) code. The remote and the DVR can have DR 1, DR 2 or DR 3 as remote codes. Pg 54 of the Toshiba Installation Manual explains how to align both your SE-R0161 and your based unit so that the remote works again. Good luck. Hope this helps.
Got the same problem today. I found the solution online on the installation guide. You need to push the two channel changing buttons on the recorder at the same time for 3 seconds.
Hold both the channel up and down buttons on the front of the recorder for 3 secs until DR1 shows in the display. Try it and let me know if it worked..
Answering my own question,Switch on recorder manually then hold down SETUP KEY and No 2 key at the same time.As this is a common fault with this recorder would advise taking note of this solution.
i have the same problem but different model dvdc recorder.
