In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

unplug it and then back in after a minute and see if it resets, if not it needs professional diagnosis

If you buy the combo in the US, its region 1 and can play all the other regions.

This is normal for the ZV457MG9 units. The Magnavox ZV457MG9 does not have an analog (NTSC) tuner; additionally there is no digital (ATSC or QAM) tuner either. It will only record on line in (L1) which is a composite input (limited to SD). The HDMI port on the recorder is an HDMI out to TV, not an input. The component video jacks are also only outputs.

The manual for the Magnavox ZV457MG9/F7 is available here: http://download.m4c.magnavox.com/files/z/zv427mg9_f7/zv427mg9_f7_dfu_aen.pdf . The unit was manufactured for Magnavox by Funai; thus another link to the manual is http://www.funai-corp.com/6pdf/om/ZV427MG9.pdf .

I wish that I had better news for you.

(If your DVD/VCR recorder had a tuner, it would record off a coaxial (antenna) cable input. Many DVRs can record off the HD connection (HDMI or component); that may be a better option for replacing this Magnavox unit.)

I found two:

I solved it by just tapping in numbers and I came up with a code don't ask me what it is because Iwas just randomly clicking and something came up. Thanks anyway.

It is very hard to turn this feature off. The best way to fix this problem is to remove the region setting fom the dvd.

I have a Magnavox zv457mg9 DVD&VCR combo ,and the vcr records for a short period(10minutes) and then cuts off. This happens each time I try to record on the VCR. Any suggestions??
