My JVC DR-MH20 continually flashs "LOADING" on start-up and is not functional.
First, let's see if the player tries to read the disc. Load a disc and listen. Does the player make squealing noises or is it totally quiet? Squealing noises may indicate that the player is trying to synchronize with the disc but can't due to an obstruction on the lens or in the laser path inside the pickup or a defect in the pickup. This can also be caused by an intermittent signal problem due to a faulty ribbon cable. Totally silent means that the photo sensor is not getting any usable input from the laser at all, meaning that the pickup is "blind" for lack of a better word. This can be caused by an obstruction of the beam by foreign matter on the lens or inside the pickup all the way to a marginal or failed laser diode and/or photosensor array. This can also be caused by a bad ribbon cable with one or more severed traces. You could try to clean the optics. This is the most common malfunction as far as i know in all disc players. It would involve taking the cover off and finding a way to expose the lense, and then cleaning it with a very gentle brush. some players have a cover for the lense that swings to the side during playing, this greatly reduces the chance of dust accumulating, but its still worth the try. If you actually see dust on the lense, then its just that simple. clean, close, play. Good luck

Try holding in the start button, -while turning the power on at the wall.
Keep the start button pressed for a good while.
This quite often seems to "wake-up" stupid machines.
Worked today for my DR MH30.

If you contact JVC customer service you can ship it to their service center and they will fix it (usually free for this issue) but they are slow (~1month) and you will have to pay for shipping it there

After getting a "no disc" reading, I opened the player to the ribbon connectors and noticed one was slightly bent on one side. I too a screw driver and placed it under the ribbon and with another driver, flattened it back into shape. I blew air around the unit and brushed the lens with a brush. It now works perfectly!

I had similars problem: My Toshiba's DVD Player (w/HDMI) starts Load->Bad/No Disc, I found out that the Flat connector was damage on one side, from Signal Board to lens unit, however I didn't get the original one, but I do believe that's the problem.
MY jvc dr-mx1s all of a sudden the HD pic will freeze up and if I unplug will come back up for a awhile and doo the same thing. The VCR tuner seems fine help!!!!!!
A very simular problem with my DVD HD too. After inadvertantly turning the power off to the player, the "Loading" message keeps flashing and after 24-hours, it really should have finished loading!
turns on but doesn't load disc
tries to load then disc stops turning
laser skips when trying to load and moves back and forth
says that there is no disc after about a minute of trying to load
Maybe due to a mains glitch, but anyway the same "Loading" problem occurred to me a few days ago - no fix despite a few deliberate power cycles, as it no longer responds to the front panel or handcontrol. After 4 hrs "loading" I decided to unplug it - permanently. Probably the mains glitch has caused a fatal disc crash, however all domestic equipment should tolerate a sudden mains outage without damage as these occur regularly in some parts of the country. Apparently this unit has no such HDD fail safe.
My JVC XV-N322 has similar problems with a new DVD (of the film "Etre et avoir"). The seller has sent me a new copy, but to no avail. Then I tried it in the DVD-drive of my computer, and here it just works fine. When the disk is placed in the JVC, it says "read" and starts with 2 images of distributor's logo. After 11 seconds it stops. Then - after some hesitation - it continues with blurry screens of colours pink and green, mixed with flashes of the first 2 images. At 16 seconds the disk stops altogether and the process of read, 11-16 secs, is repeated until I give up.
The info on the disk is as follows:
DVD9 / 16:9 anamorphic / Dolby 2.0 & 5.1. My other DVDs - which all read fine - do not mention this DVD9 format. Could the problem have anything to do with this format? And is there a solution? Please HELP!!!

I have two JVC DR-MV1SU DVD Recorder / VCR Combos. Both of them are now flashing "LOADING" continuously and are hung up on that mode and will do nothing else. I took them to "Best Buy" for repair and was told they can not be fixed and I need to buy new ones of another brand???????
I have a JVC DR-MH30S and have the same problem: loading flashes all the time and not starting up.
I disconnected the power several times and plugged in again after up to 12 hrs, no result.
when i start player ,first screen appear and then black screen apper nithubg can work,,, what can i do?
when i turn it on now it goes straight to - close- load-no disc
After connection/deconnection of my videocamera to the input in the front, I tried to switch off the unit but it did not power down (waited at least 5 min). I then pulled out the power cord, waited 2 minutes and attached the power again. It then stucks "Loading ... loading..." for ever. What to do?
Mintek MDP-1720 just says loading and other functions do not work
disk keeps loading and does not play
