Protect Shutdown Every time I turn on my dvd player, it goes to the same screen. "Protect Shutdown..." I've searched the RCA website and have found absolutely nothing in regards to this message and have had no luck in getting a response from their tech support. The unit powers on, shows the DVD background and will, from time to time, scroll through each of the disc holders, but it always goes back to the same screen. I've tried all the basics--unplugging and replugging, using a different outlet. I'm just hoping to find someone else who has come across this problem and knows what to do about it.

I purchased this RCA 8310 about 2 years ago. I have recoreded hundreds of dvd's. If I try to use anything but a Imation brand DVD+R, 8+ speed, I get the same error. It will not work with a 16+ dvd.

if you hold the power button for more than 8 seconds it will lock the whole system. unplug it and see if that fixes it, if not press and hold the power button on the remote.

Faulty power-supply symptoms:

The front panel display and buttons are completely nonfunctional and appear dead. The unit will do nothing more than display the following messages on the TV screen:

Interface error
(and or)
Interface error! Turn off the power

If a DVD or VHS tape was inserted prior to the error occurring, you won't be able to eject either from that point further. They'll remain stuck inside the unit until you've completed the repair detailed below.

For the noise when it starts try this. Remove cover and you will see a small fan held in place by 2 screws. Remove these screws and then remove fan. On the back of the fan you will see a sticker. Remove this sticker and apply 1...just 1 drop of oil onto the now exposed shaft. Replace the sticker, the fan and the 2 screws.
