20 Most Recent JVC DR-MV7 DVD Recorder/VCR Questions & Answers

Sorry I can't answer directly but just wanted to suggest you bought a PVR or personal video recorder that uses a computer-type hard drive. These devices are a lot less hassle when only short-term storage is needed and any content you want to keep can be recorded later onto hard copy. I still prefer vhs for that as it is possible to edit tapes or cut out bad portions if something goes wrong - not something easy to do if a cd or dvd gets damaged.

The laser pickup assembly is shot, over time the laser becomes weaker until it can no longer read the disc,it is time to retire the item, far cheaper to replace the entire unit.

Thank you very much and good luck.

There should be a rewind button on the front of the main unit (usually indicated by either REW or 2 arrows pointing to the left), this should be next to the fast forward (again indicated by either F-FWD or 2 arrows pointing to the right) as well as PLAY and STOP - for the VCR. The only thing you would need the remote for is to set the clock and/or perform setup for the DVD player as well as timer recording. Try a universal remote which will make fast forward, play, stop, record (to VHS) and rewind easier.

here is the link you need to download the user Manual also you are going to need the full model number.

Hi,
Actually your DR-MV7 has set on Progressive Scan mode, turn it off to get its normal picture or hook it in Component Video input of tv to get its progressive scan mode picture.
And if it is already hooked in component video input of tv then check picture resolution of your tv that seems set on 480, please change it to 720p to watch dvd player correct picture.
Hope this info will help you.
Thanks.

I'm assuming you bought the DVD recorder in Asia as well. US DVDs are region 1 and won't play on a player/recorder from another region without alteration. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvd_regions for a description of DVD regions). There's nothing as simple as a switch unfortunately.

You may be able to find a way of altering your recorder to play all regions (region-free) but you need to be careful when doing this. Here is one person's story of this going wrong with the same model JVC.

A safer alternative may be to buy another recorder in the USA.

New ones are designed to do that in order to keep people from boot legging disc/

From the explanation, it looks like you are trying to record TV channel, correct? Some of these DVD VCR combos may not have built-in tuner. Do you have the instruction book? If not, you can download from jvc.com website. If you find it difficult, tell me the model number.

dvd player is **** on rEAD. will not eject dvd.

Sometimes DVD have PAL versions sold here in US. Check the manual to see if it is PAL not NTSC

unplug power

open unit
remove dvd drive (4 screws)

remove power cable to dvd right rear of unit on circuit board
(squeeze plastic connector and pull up)

remove ribbon cable CAREFULLY wiggle it from side to side and it will come up

Then with drive removed, open up drive to access the bottom near front door

Once open you will see a smalll motor and a white pice of plastic that slides. with tray closed slide that piece of plastic as far towards the middle as it will go

with that slid all the way over you should be done.
close it up and be carefull sliding the ribbon cable back into place

Worked for me!

Good luck
