I'm sorry for the difficulties you're experiencing in using the DVD Recorder. Based on the information you have provided, please follow the below troubleshooting steps and check the operation:

Please make sure that the connections are secure and proper. (You have not mentioned the type of connection that you're using to connect the Recorder to the TV. You may use Component, S-Video or Composite Video connection to setup the Recorder with the TV).

Please make sure that you have selected proper input on the TV to view the setup screen of the Recorder on the TV screen. (Most of the TVs have an INPUT button or TV/VIDEO button to change the input. If you're not sure with the input selection method, you may refer the manual of the TV or get back to me with the exact model # of the TV so that I can help you with INPUT SELECTION)

Turn off both TV and Recorder and check the operation.

Unplug the Recorder from wall outlet for more than two minutes to perform a Power resetting and check the operation.

Try connecting the Recorder to the TV using a different cable.

If the issue persists, please get back to me with more details about the issue like the type of connection and model # of the TV etc.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any clarification on the provided steps.


Thanks for understanding.

I'm sorry for the difficulties you're experiencing as the Video output settings on the DVD Recorder is set incorrectly. Please perform a power resetting by following the below steps and check the operation.
To perform power resetting, unplug the DVD Recorder from wall outlet for more than 5 minutes and press and hold the Power button for more than 15 seconds. It will discharge power from all circuit and move the Recorder to factory default.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if the issue persists.

Dvd recorder was set to progressive mode and now will not show a picture or set up menu.

You can try this - with the unit on, but no discs inserted, press and hold the [STOP] button on the front panel (not the remote) for 10 seconds, then release. This should revert your unit's video output back to normal interlace and restore the picture/setup menu etc. This works for Zenith/Goldstar/LG DVD decks. Give it a try; it might work for you. Hopefully it will.

No power on protron pd-dvr100

There is something you can try first.
With leaving something like this condensation tends to form on the circuit boards.

To remove this put the dvd into a warm room, plug it in for 2 hours, and see if thats cured it.

Timer problem

How we solved the problem was to go buy another DVD Recorder. The Proton has a couple of problems; i.e., it was suggested by one of your community members that the Proton was flaky.
Flaky is a perfect word for it. Anyway, we could never trust it. Not in the two or three years we have had it. Hope this new one is better. Did enjoy your website, though, and it was nice to read comments from other who have the Proton and to discover that we were not the only ones experiencing the problems.

No picture on tv when i turn on dvd. get split screen black & whi

Give this a try. Using your user's manual, locate the "Configuring your recorder" section. Under this section there will be "System setup - general" subsection. Being that you are unable to see anything on your tv display you will need to use your manual as your display. Press the "SETUP" key on your remote. Once again using your manual as your display, scroll down to "Restore factory settings" and press "ENTER" As long as you are located in North or Central America and using interlaced video outputs you should have your normal display back.
Hope this helps.

Protron pd-dvr100

Fixed mine by opening up and replacing ide cable to the DVD burner. Was flashing hello. When opened up and touched the ide cable it would spin up the drive for a second. Its possible it was loose connection to the power plug in the drive but replaced ide cable just in case. Has been working perfect since. Very roomy inside and easy to do.

Dont kno how to record

Connect your cable from the wall to the RF IN on the back of pd-dvr100
Connect your RF OUT on the back of your pd-dvr100 with a coaxial cable not included to the RF IN on your cable box
Connect the red, yellow, and white RCA Cable to the front or back of your TV
and to the audio out and video out on your pd-dvr100
Press the SETup button on your remote use the up and down buttons to select the channel scan sub menu
select IRC for your tuner input source
select scan and press Enter
The recorder can now record all scanned channels onto your dvd+r when you press the record button
I only got it to record the scanned channels.
The good thing is you can record on another station while you are watching a show on your cable box.
