My JVC HR-XVC27U plays some DVDs but not others. They have the correct codes, but it seems to not play the newer DVDs like Toy Story 3

The player will not play certain DVDs, mostly newer ones like Toy Story 3. I have checked the codes and they appear correct. However, there are days when it will suddenly play those same DVDS. For example, one day it will play "Ratatouille" and then the next day it will not, and then two weeks from now, it will again. It does, however, play older DVS on a consistent basis. I have used a DVD cleaner also numerous times.

See the causes and remedies and fix it: God bless you

  1. No disc. - Load a disc into the tray.
  2. Disc has been loaded upside down. Place the disc with the label side up.
  3. Disc region code does not match region code of the player.
  4. Disc type is not the correct type to play.
  5. Disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc or try another.
  6. Moisture may be condensed inside the unit. Remove the disc and the leave the power on for one or two hours.

SOURCE: dvd player won't read dvds

Hi,
There are 2 things you can do as an end user.

1. Clean the DVD's or CD's that you are using. A fingerprint or any other debris or marks on a disc can cause playback problems. Most retailers that sell DVD and CD players also sell disc cleaning kits.
I use another method that works very good, as good or better than the cleaning kits. Use a small amount of windex on the data side of the DVD or CD and then a soft cloth like a bath towel or terry cloth to clean it. It really is important to keep your disc's as clean and scratch free as possible. If that does not help you can move on to the next step.

2. Clean the lens of the laser pick up. You can do that with a cleaning disc that is sold at most all stores that sell DVD players. It is a disc that you put into the player just like any other disc except that it had some very fine brushes on it that cleans off the lens. Let it run for around 20 to 30 seconds.

If neither of those things help, you have a problem that can not be fixed without some good electronic skills.

Something else you may want to keep in mind if you are thinking about taking it to a service center for repair.

Unless you paid more than $200 for it, it may not be worth fixing.
I have been repairing electronics (car and home audio systems) for over 17 years and repairs on these type of units normally run anywhere from $90 to $175 (depending on the problem).
You will also only get a 30 to 60 day warranty on the repair from most repair centers, as opposed to the warranty of a new piece of equipment which is normally 90 days or 1 year.

I hope this helps you fix your DVD recorder or at least make an informed decision. If you need any more help feel free to ask and a good rating would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Insert one of the recorded disc and try to finalize. If it accepts, that means they are not finalized.

How to program JVC vcr/dvd/tv remote 076D0FB010 for taping future tv shows. I can only tape shows live on my JVC HR-XVC1U machine.

It sounds like the remote you have, the JVC 076D0FB010, does not have the capability to program future recordings on your JVC HR-XVC1U or HR-XVC27U machines. This feature is typically called "timer recording" or "scheduled recording," and it is controlled by the VCR's built-in programming features, rather than by the remote.
You may want to check the user manual for your JVC HR-XVC1U and HR-XVC27U machines to see if there is a way to set timer recordings using the VCR's own controls. If the manual does not provide instructions for timer recording, it is likely that this feature is not available on your VCRs.
Alternatively, you can consider purchasing a universal remote that has the ability to program future recordings. Some popular universal remotes include the Logitech Harmony and the Philips Universal Remote Control.

Is ther an HDMI cable for JVC xvc27u

There is no HDMI OUT socket on this player. I don't enjoy giving negative answers, so if you could explain why you want to use an HDMI cable with this player, I can possibly make some suggestions which will help you to achieve whatever it is you are trying to do.

If you were simply looking to buy this or any other player and want one with an HDMI output, you should look for something else ;)

Hope this helps.

VHS won't work

Had the same problem on my JVC vcr/dvd combo unit.
You need to turn off the timer function. I did this by making sure my remote was in the "VHS" mode...turn the swith from TV to the right (found on the remote in the upper left corner...an then hit the "vcr" button. Then point the remote at the VCR unit and hit the No. 4 button (timer turns off). Your unit should not have the red timer displayed and you should be able to play your tapes okay.

Hope this helps.
