Hi rooobb,

I have just taken the recorder to a Sony approved repair centre to get a fault estimate at the cost of £20. They have told me that the DVD drive and it's pcb are not working and need replacing for a cost of £154. So therefore as far as I am concerned the recorder is now kaput and it is time to go out and buy a new one.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi Rob,

After a week I have plugged the recorder back in and it will start, but only get as far as the welcome being displayed in the LCD. Also the reset sequence is still not working. Can you think of anything else to try or does taking it to a repair centre still stand?

Thanks rooobb for your reply, it is very much appreciated. I think from what you have said I need to get the recorder to an approved repairer. Do you think this is the only option left to me?

According to the manual, you can not reset the recorder by pressing the Power and Stop buttons simultaneously unless the power is on. The peoblem I have is I can't turn the power on, so therefore can not reset the recorder. Is there a way to reset it with the power off ?

Hi, I hope someone can help. I live in London and since the digital change over, the DVD recorder is stuck in standby and wont turn on. I have removed the power lead and restarted the machine, but I still cant get it to start. The clock on the front panel is on & dimmed and there is noise coming form the hard drive, it even seems to reset itself if I hold the start button down for more than five seconds. Please help!
