how can I fix my JVC DVD recorder?my JVC DVD DR-M10S recorder works well - most of the time - from time to time however both during recording OR playback it will suddenly come to a halt and flash the message "LOADING" and the blue backlight flashes on and off. At this point both manual and remote control is ineffective - the only remedy is to switch off the power to the machine an after a few seconds swich back on - The "Loading" message returns for a short time then goes into stand-by mode (or continue to record if it was recording at the time it failed) - the machine then works fine again for some days or even weeks - IS THIS FIXABLE ??

In addition to all the other info posted here, if you have a DVD stuck in your "loading" player, remove the top, then the faceplate. There is a pinhole button below the DVD door that the faceplate hides. Depress this to eject your DVD. Then send to JVC for repair.

Hi Cliff, I'm afraid that you (along with many others including myself) have bought one of JVC's white elephants. I purchased a Pioneer HDD Recorder and was so impressed by recording to DVD that I decided that I wanted a decent VCR/Recordable DVD combi to back up my video collection.
So, I shopped around and came across a JVC DR-MV1B on ebay for about £130 on ebay. Bought it, thought it was brilliant. Then the problems started....
We'd set it for programmes and it would just switch itself totally off (ie: no display - as if unplugged from the mains)
Plug it back in and it'd work for a while then do the same. Sometimes it'd just flash 'Loading' so you'd have to unplug it again and so on.
Apparently, so I've read and I followed discussion groups on this for several months, there's a problem with the PSU (Power supply unit) Not sure if your model suffers the same problem but sounds like it.
If I remember rightly, they used cheap resisters/capacitors in several models buit in 2004. I think they were PAL units built in Germany.
The problem with my machine is that when the unit is in standby, it still draws a lot of energy from the Power Supply Unit (PSU) but the case fan (NR the PSU) only works when the machine is out of standby (ie: in use)
So, the PSU gets hot and those cheap components that they used don't like that. This causes alsorts of problems like spikes which destroy chips inside the unit etc...
If you google for DR-MV1 LOADING then you'll find lots of information or look here:

I've not managed to find a solution to the problem yet. I still have the machine (I seems a shame to throw it out as it is a very good machine when it's working)
I have, however, managed to prolong the length of time I can use the machine.....
What I would suggest is you try this....
Take the top off your unit and place a desktop fan in close proximity to the PSU (should be the bit where the power cable goes in), put the fan on the fastest speed. Now try switching your unit on. If it's an heat issue (like mine) then it should stop flashing and the clock should appear. If it does then this is what I did....
Took top off machine, mounted a PC fan over PSU components (blowing onto them), then fitted a AC>DC power adapter to power fan. This is connected to mains cable so runs when unit is on at the mains (regardless of whether its in standby or not)
I still have to switch it off when not in use but it does do what I primarily wanted it to do, which was backup videos.
It may also help to drill holes into the case over the PSU to create a grill.
Hope some of this helps....
