You do either of the following; refer to your instruction manual (if you still have it) and look for general output settings to turn off progressive scan, or you can try something much simpler.
On the front of the unit, without a disc inserted, and the drive selected as DVD, press and hold STOP button for 10 seconds (on the unit, not the remote), then release. This may revert progressive scan back to normal interlace for your TV, and thus turn progressive off.
This trick works for Goldstar, Samsung, some LG, Magnavox, and Zenith DVD players. Give it a try before referring to the manual.
(copy and paste link into browser - the file is free and small (less than 5MB) - page 17 under the heading 'General Settings' it provides details on how to set clock (including changing AM to PM) while page 18 shows how to reset the unit to factory defaults - and despite the filename, it IS for this model DVD recorder) (no email subscription required to download this)
This is too awkward to explain here. I don't know if you still have your original copy of the owner's manual or not.
I hope everything else in this combo works as it should.
Maybe is due to the progressive scan feature or a resulotion issue on the TV . . . press OUTPUT STATUS button on the front panel repeatedly until the picture seems normal...
Try replacing the video cable (S-VIDEO or RCA or HDMI) . . or test the DVD player in another TV ..

Hi,
If you a knowledge in electronics then open the cover of your unit. Take a look at the bulged capacitor on the power supply. Your unit have an unregulated supply because of this leaky capacitor. Replaced it with exact/same value and it will back to normal again.
Hope it may help you!
Have a nice day!

Try opening the front hatch of the tape by pressing the small, square button on the right or left (short) side of the tape. Check the black tape inside for any marks, dirt, scratches, tears, etc. If the tape is fine then your unit needs to be cleaned with a tape cleaner available at any electronics specialty or retail store. Good luck to you!
I have the same problem. I installed this unit and used it for a total of one day before it complely failed. When you tun it on, the display says hello, nothing is shown on the TV, and it turns itself off within 30 seconds. Solution, I am returning this JVC unit and never purchasing another JVC product again. Complete failure after one days use, pitiful!
The DR-MV150B has both a digital tuner and analog tuner. Since the digital conversion you more likely have not run a channel scan for the new digital channels. Plugging in a digital tuner would work, but is unnecessary. What you probably have to do is run the 'auto scan' feature through the recorders menu. Hit "Home" button go to the "TV" icon and select "Auto Scan". It will take a few minutes, but recorder will scan for digital channels and memorize them.
