My DR-MV80B is showing no picture.
What DVDs can I use to record on my
DR-MV80B?
There is no signal output from COMPONENT OUT
when HDMI is connected and 720p/1080i/1080p is
selected at OUTPUT STATUS.
c DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and
DVD-RAM can be used to record on your
DR-MV80B.
c Press OUTPUT STATUS button and select either
480i or 480p in order to watch the video signal
from COMPONENT OUT.
For recommended recordable DVD discs, please
refer to page 3 in your owner’s manual.
My newly recorded DVD plays in my
DR-MV80B but does not play in other DVD
players.
When I turn on my DR-MV80B, it flashes
"Hello" and all the buttons on the remote
control and the front panel will not respond
for 10 - 15 seconds. Is this normal?
c You must "Finalize" the DVD before it can play in
another DVD player.
Please see page 18 in your owner’s manual.
When your DR-MV80B is first turned on, it will flash
"Hello" as the internal EPROM chip is updated with
information.
During the Initial Set Up, I am being asked
to set the Clock. Does this model have Auto
Clock Set?
c Please wait until "Hello" stops flashing before you
attempt to use the remote control or front panel
buttons. It takes 25-30 seconds until the set
can be operated when a disc is on the tray.
c This unit doesn’t have an Auto Clock Setting. You
will need to manually set your clock as shown on
page 14 of your owner’s manual under the Initial
Setup Wizard. You can also look on page 15 of
your owner’s manual and follow the directions for
Clock Set.
My DR-MV80B is showing a distorted pic-
ture.
Your DR-MV80B has a progressive scan feature.
This feature only works with a TV that accepts a pro-
gressive scan signal.
How can I record TV program? How can I
use Timer-Link function?
c If the picture is distorted, press OUTPUT
STATUS button and select 480i.
You need to connect an external tuner such as
Cable/Satellite box. If your Cable/Satellite box has a
programmable ON/OFF timer function, the recording
will start/stop at the programmed time (Timer-Link
function).
When the resolution is set to 1080p in VCR
playback, the picture can be distorted.
c If the picture is distorted, press OUTPUT STATUS
repeatedly until the picture appears normally to
change the resolution setting.
See page 30 of your owner’s manual for instructions
on how to use Timer-Link.
For additional troubleshooting tips please refer to pages 43-45 in your owners manual.
