I have the HV 20

Jun 19, 2008

- I apologize. You seemed to have some understanding of what had happened and what needed to be done to correct the issue, so I assumed that you understood the menu system and moving around in it.

Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy an HV20 so all I have to go by is the manual. But I will try to figure out the steps based on the manual.

1. With the card inserted, set the tape/card selector switch (on the right side of the unit) to Card, and the Power switch to Play.
2. Press the Func switch (back of unit near bottom). Use the Joystick (above Func switch) to scroll down to Menu on the LCD. Press the Set switch (push in on joystick).
3. You should see Card Operations highlighted on LCD. Press the Set switch again.
4. Scroll to Initialize. Press the Set switch again.
5. Scroll to Compl. Init. Press the Set switch again.
6. Scroll to Yes. Press the Set switch again.

May I suggest that in the future you request step-by-step instructions, so that neither you nor the person trying to help you gets frustrated. (Obviously, I don't think that this deserves the rating of 'Inappropriate'.)
