JVC DR-MX1 loading error - how can I retrieve hard disk hdd conte

a while ago many vhs tapes had a protection sceme to prevent copying, i forget the namee right now, "something" vision" i think. it may be the vhs and not dvd disc.

On remote control press 'Setup' button;
'DVD Video Setup' tab will be highlighted;
Using arrow keys around the 'Enter' key, press right arrow once to move to adjacent tab called 'HDD/DVD Setup';
Press down arrow once to move to 'HDD Setup' tab;
Press right arrow to move to 'Disc setup' tab;
Press down arrow to highlight 'Finalise' button;
Press 'Enter' and follow on screen prompts.

I also have a faulty unit with discs that hadn't yet been finalised. You can access the discs via your PC. I used a program called IsoBuster by Smart Projects. There is a free demo which you can download. Just google it.

As for the faulty power supply, just scrap the unit and DON'T buy JVC again. Eventually, they will have to listen to the economies of scale.........

First clean the laser lens

Use edit on you remote. this will bring up delete

I spent alot of time working thru the issues to produce an image for someone else. He forgot who had the problem and was expecting me to run round finding/upgrading my internet connection to upload a 11gig image for him.
What I will do is mail 3 dvd along with program required to create disk. Note you need two PC as the program only creates disk from image downloaded from ftp server. The program is freeware G4U which you'll find easily on the web.
Note my TV system is PAL and I'm not sure if this can be changed.

Yes there is a high probability that the 5v power supply has suffered damage. Anyways just check if the drive is ejecting properly without placing any DVD. If it doesn't then its confirmed that the ps is the culprit. try it and let me know..

this happened to mine - could be that it is getting too hot (mine is in a cabinet) - turning the machine off (by unplugging the plug, not putting on standby) and letting it cool down seems to work.

However, the dvd has now stopped working (not related to the above problem) - hence me looking

Had this JVC recorder for a couple of years, It has always take ages to
boot up and start working now its stuck on "Loading" on the display.
Anyone no of a reset seqence that will restart the machine
