20 Most Recent Pioneer DVR-220 DVD Recorder Questions & Answers

hi richard. i have had a look around the internet but all i could find was the is link.but when you go to it its forums that you can go into.so not to sure if it will be off any use,but have a look. Pioneer DVR 220 DVD Recorder powers on and then returns to standby mode...

If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Region code hacks and codes to many popular devices are given.

I just purchased the following capacitors from Mouser.com. I bought 2 of each and with shipping it cost me about $10:

C17: 1800uF, 25V, D 15mm L 20mm - 647-UPW1E182MHD6
C19: 3300uF, 10V, D 12mm L 25mm - 647-UHM1A332MHD
C23: 1000uF, 10V, D 10mm L 17mm - 647-UPW1A102MPD

I could not find a replacement for the C24. My C19 blew and after replacing it the DVR came back to life.

see this steps and fix it. God bless youClean the objective lens:

1. Remove the housing and lift the hold-down clamp to expose the lens.
2. Remove dust with canned air or soft brush. If needed, use a foam swab or a camera-lens tissue dampened with lens fluid.

Clean a DVD disc:

1. Hold the disc by its central hub and outside edge.
2. Blow dust from the bottom surface with a can of compressed air.
3. Clean dirt and fingerprints from the bottom surface with a lint-free cloth dampened with CD/DVD-cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol, wiping from the center outward.

I'm sorry for the difficulties you're experiencing in converting the VHS tapes to DVD. If you're connecting an external VCR, please connect one output to Monitor using a spliter.

Please get back to me with the detailed query if the issue persists.

Try cleaning the laser pick-up by inserting any ordinary CD (or DVD) cleaning disc and use as described by the manufacturer of it. Possibly dirty laser. Otherwise you may need to replace the reader as described on another website.

You can buy a cheap adaptor at radioshack that will take care of this problem.

Check for more damaged Capacitors and check out the resistors and diodes around the damaged caps which you replaced. Check the traces on the circuit board and look for cold solder joints bridges and such. Also... Did you make sure you got your polarity correct on your caps?

Check the in line fuse...If you remove the unit cover the inline fuse sits right behind the plug socket...If the fuse is okay, then you will need to replace these two capacitors on the same power circuit board...One is at location C19, 3300uf, 10 volt, and c23, 1000uf, 10volt...

First check the in line fuse...it sits right behind the electric plug on the chase..You have to remove the screws to open the case to check this....If the fuse is okay, you will have to replace these two capacitors, 10 volt, 3300uf, and 10 volt 1000uf...they are located on the same board that houses the fuse...the two location are c23 and c19 on the power board...

I replaced two capacitors, (1) 10 volt, 1000uf and 10 volt 3300uf..They both sit on the power board that can be removed from the unit..You will have to unsolder the bad capacitors and put in the replacements..This wasn't hard to do...

Yes you can do this. You just need to make sure that the TV outputs its picture on the scart lead that you have connected to the Pioneer unit, and you need to set the Pioneer unit to record from that scart input. Once this is done, it will be able to record whatever you have on the screen. Be aware though, if you turn off the TV it stops outputting its picture to the recorder, and if you change channel, it changes what what the recorder see's too. I hope this helps you. :)

DC out put voltage problem

need to check the power supplies outputs (voltage).
