Magnavox ZV450MW8 After initial setup.... loses all programming except Time. Not power failure related. This is an intermittant but continual problem.

To dub a DVD, first press Setup on the remote. Then select Recording (use the Up/Down arrows and then press OK). Navigate to and select Dubbing Mode. Select the direction for the duplication. Then press Setup to leave the Setup menu. Then press DVD to ensure that the unit is ready to play the DVD. (Press VCR if you are dubbing a video tape.) Then Press Play to advance to the section that you wish to duplicate, if needed, and then press Pause. (Press Pause a bit early; the dubbing process will lose about 5 seconds.) Now, press the other Mode button (VCR if recording to tape, DVD if recording to DVD). Next press D.Dubbing on the recorder or the remote. (The button is to the right of the Channel Up/Down buttons on the recorder. It's near the bottom left on the remote.) Press Stop when the section to be duplicated has been played in its entirety.

The Magnavox ZV450MW8 was manufactured by Funai with the Magnavox name. Thus Funai Service has the manual available: http://www.funaiservice.com/manual2012_search2.php . The direct link is http://www.funaiservice.com/manuals/MAGNAVOX/ZV450MW8/ZV450MW8.pdf . The directions for dubbing a DVD to VCR or vice versa start on page 48. Note: copy protected items cannot be duplicated.

I hope this helps.

if no power indicator check for broken power cord, if ok at this time you will need to remove the cover of the dvd player to access the power supply.then look for blown fuse or any burnt parts here.

The problem is in the power supply, one or two capacitors fail and sometimes have a slight puff at the top, need to be replaced.

Could the unit be losing power overnight? If the TV is on a switched outlet, change outlets (or make sure the switch stays on). Did you actually finish the setup? The setup screen will continue to appear if you press Exit before it is completed. You should have seen the "Setup is complete" message.

If you are correcting the time as well as repeating the scan, the TV is probably losing power overnight.
If this is power related, consider a UPS that will power the TV overnight in Standby mode. It uses 100 W when on and 0.3 W in standby.

I hope this helps.

I bought a ;magnavox dvd disc and cassette recorder combo.
I am having trouble with setup items? I get nothing on the screen to select from?

Hey jleedwards,

If you have lost your owner's manual for this Magnavox VHS/DVD recorder, you should be able to find a copy of it online through the Magnavox/Funai support website:

Hope this helps you out.
