I got this same message on my VN7000PC that I got in LIDL. The message appeared when I tried to record. I could not get it to go away. At the time I just happened to have 5 files in Folder A with lock on. I tried to remove the file locks. I got the same message "Input Blocked". That was a clue. Maybe it had something to do with the internal 1GB drive. I formatted the drive. The message disappeared and now I can record again.

Toshiba hdd/vcr/dvd recorder stuck on avi - won't change to tv using input on handset

Hi,

please attempt to change the input from the Toshiba recording device directly. You might switch between modes on the Toshiba by pressing 1 of the hdd, vcr or dvd buttons. If this doesn't work, you can power cycle the device and then attempt to changed the mode from the Toshiba directly again. Otherwise, you might need to eject any disc that's currently in the device before attempting to change modes again.

Thank you.

Copy your audiofiles to computer then format your Olympus unit (worked on my VN-5500PC) After that you can use your unit again no "Input blocked" messages, sorry for my bad English

I am currently converting all of my old videos to dvd,my dvd recorder RH266 will not record some old videos, message "Record signal blocked" comes up, and record switches off. This happens even with some...

The recordings probably have a anti-piracy copy prevention signal imbedded which will block any attempt at copying.

There were several techniques used.

I'm getting a message "Camcorder not connected. I can't program any recordings

When this recorder reads 'not connected to camcorder' you are simply accessing the recorder's 'DV' input on the front panel of recorder. This 'DV' input is used with DV Camcorders, thus the message.

Simply hit the 'AUX' button on the remote control to access the recorders other inputs. It will cycle between-TUNER>>AV1>>AV2>>DV.

Depending on what you want to access or view and where they are hooked up to the recorder. The "Tuner" will access either your over the air digital channels or your basic cable channels when hooked up through the 'UHF/VHF' input on the rear panel.AV1 is input 1 on the back of the recorder. AV2 is the input on the front of the recorder. DV allows for a Digital Video Camcorder to be hooked up to recorder using a 'Firewire'.

Recorder fails during 92% finalizing.

The free CDBurnerXP Pro is supposedly able to close unclosed disks, but I have never figured out how to do it. Maybe you'll be luckier than me or the newer version is more user friendly.

LG RH399H

I've had "Record-blocking signals detected" on my LG RH398H-M recorder off & on since I bought it almost a year ago. Also other minor problems. LG replaced the recorder 4 times with no change in problems. I became suspicious when I found that when these messages came on I could switch to any channel, digital or analog, even the weather channel, and I would still get the same message for about 5 minutes & then everything would be OK again. Recently I finally got the chance to try something. When the message came on I disconnected the input to the recorder and the message still came on! Again, I got the message "Record-blocking signal detected" with ABSOLUTELY NO INPUT CONNECTED to the recorder!!! Of course it's impossible for the recorder to be receiving blocking signals when there's nothing connected to the inputs. I wrote to LG again and threatened a law suit but so far they've been ignoring me. I would like to hear from anyone who can duplicate the above.

Hi - You can download the manual from the link underlined in blue below:

The error you have is probably:

This means that you are trying to record from the Digital Input, if you want to record from an analogue input do the following:
