Help Needed: JVC DR-MH50S DVD VIDEO RECORDER

Hi,

Anybody know what might be likely to be wrong with my DVD recorder with HDD. When it is switched on, the display comes on screen, but just says 'Loading' all the time. Is it likely to be a fault with the laser unit for the DVD or something to do with the Hard Drive?

Any Help would be appreciated

Thanks

Two questions about this problem. First, is the HDD spinning up when turned on (when plugged in on some DVD recorders)? Second, does it say "loading..." when turned on with no disc inserted? If the HDD isn't spinning up, that could be the problem as the unit may be waiting for a reply from the drive and not receiving it. If the problem is only when a disc is inserted, it may be the laser. Please reply. nvic

...unless "loading " refers to a disc. It could be a simple loading problem related to the disc drawer, like a bad belt, slipped gear, or bad sensor switch.

What modifacations?

Anyway, as for the original poster, it's supposed to do that, the first time you turn it on. It will take quite a few munites to compleat it's setup routine. You've probably turned it of, just before it finished.
