well, i sympathize with your problem- it may be a bit expensive, but there are 'data recovery' services available on-line. if the data on the hd is still intact, then they can either 'burn' it to dvds, or transfer it to an external, usb hd. then, if your pc has a dvd burner, you can archive the content to dvds! store them in hard case holders-make copies and store them in a safe place! fire-resistant safe, safe deposit box, with a trusted relative or friend, in case the originals become damaged. also, use the external to archive any future pictures, or videos- then back them up on dvds! would suggest 500GB-1TB usb 2.0 external,if your pc can support it! $85-150. cheap! might send the external along with the 180MB to whatever service you decide to go with, that will save some $$, in the long run. (or it should- research what the recovery services offer!). good luck!
The unit is not waiting for a reset or a command. The unit is in standby because an internal fault had been detected, and the controller circuit started in protect mode.
Protect mode is a special diagnostic mode that starts when a fault is detected.
When in protection mode the unit is prevented from starting by protection circuit, so to prevent further damage. the PSU will be forced to standby, and the unit does not wake up until the fault is fixed.
Check all wiring and connectors, a contact in video connection cable can start protect mode.
Try unplugging power cable for one hour or so. then connect cable back and see if you get rid of protect state. Sometimes accumulation of electrostatic charges inside PSU capacitors can kick in protect mode. In that case unplugging the unit from main for some times can get rid of electrostatic charges, and reset circuits by draining power completely. If that was the problem, unit will start normally when plugging back power cable.
If you do all the above and still have the unit in forced standby, then there is an internal fault.
In that case the unit must be disassembled and tested to find the fault.
If that is the case I suggest contacting the manufacturer at the number listed on the owners manual, or asking a quote on repair to a local technician. Better ringing the number in the manual first.
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.........
You almost certainly have problems with the power supply board which fails fairly often in these machines. They are available for around 80 euros, trouble is that having bought one it is not uncommon to plug it in only to find you have another problem. Your best bet is to take it to a big JVC service centre where they will have the spares to try substitute components without you having to buy them first!
This machine has a lot of problems. One thing that often works is to turn it off and unplug it for a couple of minutes. Then plug it in again. Then it will say "loading" for quite a while. Leave it alone until it turns itself on. Then it should be okay. If the couple of minutes doesn't work, sometimes unplugged overnight (same method) works, but then you have to reset everything.
It's likely to be an incompatible signal. You have PAL (UK) and NTSC (Belgium), the DVDR/VCR combo may not be compatible with PAL causing it to seem like it's not receiving any signal, when in fact it is - but not in a recognisable format.
You may try and get an NTSC to PAL signal converter like this:

That'll solve your problem.
Hello! If your JVC TV is displaying an onscreen remote and you're unable to use the actual remote, you can try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Power cycle the TV: Turn off the TV and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. This can often reset any temporary issues and restore the functionality of the actual remote.
Replace the remote batteries: Check the batteries in your remote control and make sure they have enough power. If the batteries are low, replace them with fresh ones and try using the remote again.
Check the remote control sensor: Ensure that there are no obstructions between the remote control and the TV's remote control sensor. Clean the remote control sensor on the TV with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be interfering with the signal reception.
Reset the TV to factory settings: If the issue persists, you can try resetting the TV to its factory settings. Keep in mind that this will erase any personalized settings and restore the TV to its original configuration. Refer to the user manual or the manufacturer's website for instructions on how to perform a factory reset on your specific JVC TV model.
Contact JVC customer support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's recommended to reach out to JVC customer support for further assistance. They will have access to more specific troubleshooting steps and can guide you through the process of resolving the issue with the onscreen remote.
Keep in mind that the exact steps and options may vary depending on your specific JVC TV model. Refer to the user manual or contact JVC customer support for model-specific guidance.
If the front display of your JVC SR-DVM700U is dimming to the point where it is difficult to read, there are a few potential causes and troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Adjust the display brightness: Check if your device has a dedicated display brightness control. It could be a physical knob or a setting in the menu system. Increase the brightness setting to make the display more visible. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on how to adjust the display brightness.
2. Check the power source: Ensure that the device is connected to a stable power source. If the power supply is fluctuating or inadequate, it can cause the display to dim. Try plugging the device into a different power outlet or using a different power cable to rule out any power-related issues.
3. Clean the display: Dust, dirt, or fingerprints on the display surface can also affect visibility. Gently clean the front display using a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the display.
4. Check for backlight issues: The display might have a backlight that illuminates it. If the backlight is malfunctioning or failing, it can result in dimness. Unfortunately, in most cases, repairing or replacing the backlight requires professional assistance. Consider contacting a qualified technician or JVC customer support for further guidance and potential repairs.
5. Reset the device: Perform a factory reset on your JVC SR-DVM700U. This can help resolve any software-related issues that may be affecting the display. Consult the user manual or contact JVC customer support for instructions on how to perform a factory reset on your specific model.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it is recommended to reach out to JVC customer support or consult a professional technician who specializes in JVC audio/video equipment. They can provide further troubleshooting guidance or recommend appropriate repairs if necessary.
Check the cassette door sensor: Make sure that the cassette door sensor is clean and free of debris. If the sensor is dirty or blocked, it may not be able to properly detect the presence of a cassette in the VCR.
Try unplugging the VCR: Unplug the VCR from the power source, wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in. This may reset the cassette detection mechanism and allow you to open the cassette door.
Try using the manual release: Some VCRs have a manual release mechanism that allows you to manually open the cassette door. Check the user manual or the VCR itself for instructions on how to use the manual release.
If none of the above steps work, it's likely that there is a problem with the cassette detection mechanism or the cassette door sensor. It's recommended to contact a professional technician for repair.
It's worth noting that the problem might be caused by a malfunctioning mechanism or parts, that may need to be replaced and it's best to be addressed by a professional technician.
