Hdd &dvd video recorder - toshiba RD-XS27KE shut off automatically and will not power on at all. Tried plugging it into another powerpoint but still the same result.

Check the capacitor in the power supply board, if defective it will show a slight bulge at top, value should be around 1000uf give or take, if handy with soldering iron replace with same value and voltage rating.

Contact the seller first to see if he will replace it with a working one. If not then you can get reimbursed from Ebay.

I fixed it by 1. delete all on HD drive (a function described at the end of your manual) 2. turn off your recorder 3. turn on your recorder 4. now should E49 not be vivible and recording function again

I have a toshiba RD-88 DTKB dvd/hdd recorder, when i record on hdd subtitles are on when playback,tried everything to rectify ?

1. The message can appear if the disc has already been finalised.

2. The disc may be faulty.

3. Try copying again from HDD to another disc. Performing a copy and finalise together by using 'DVD Video Creation' from the Edit menu can be more successful than doing each step separately.

4. When you transferred from your video camera, did you use firewire? If so, did you record at the maximum (default) bitrate of 14+ ? If so, you must copy (rate conversion) to the DVD at a maximum bitrate of 9.2, which is the maximum for the DVD playback standard.

Press the green button.

Press the standby button for about 10 seconds and will reset the HDD you may lose what you have on the HDD but will fix it.

I have the XS35 and the HDD drive is curropt. Can I do the following?

1. Download the Toshiba firmware update:

2. Burn the ISO to a CD-R disc. ImgBurn is an excellent free burner for this.

3. Insert the CD in your unit. It will auto-install the firmware. Follow onscreen instructions. Takes about 10 minutes total.

After the update, my existing HDD shows are playable again, and I can record and playback from the HDD. I bet it would be a good idea to periodically backup your shows on DVDs, and regularly reformat the HDD.
