Top 20 Philips Magnavox MWR20V6 DVD Recorder/VCR Questions & Answers

Before anything, I would attempt to see what the E1 code signifies. But usually when those things just shut themselves down it is because of a serious problem in the power supply. I think it is time to go shopping.

I have no direct experience but you should note no recording will take place unless the signal format is suitable/compatible. HDMI is a digital signal and your VCR/DVD will probably require an analogue signal. A tv processes the digital into analogue but sockets at the back of tv sets tend to be input only. A minority of tv sets have two scart sockets, the second one usually providing an output sound and video of what is playing on the tv at the time. I believe it is possible to buy a box that will convert digital to analogue or vice-versa.

check the hours your set to record. if your only getting 4 tapes done, expand the number of hours may need new recorder

Y is not compatible, it is one of the three inputs for "component" video which consists of Red, Green, Blue channels - RGB. The single yellow jack is "composite" video and the red and white are for audio. If your TV has HDMI inputs which are commonly used for HD TVs now, then you should be able to find an A/V adapter to convert the composite video and the audio to HDMI. HDMI carries sound as well as video. You may also find a composite to component adapter which will take the single composite signal from the combo device and break it into the 3 RGB signals for the TV. The thing is that the quality will not be HD for any of these, but then anything on VHS tape or home made DVDs will not be HD anyway. Try searching amazon and ebay, possibly newegg.

What are you trying to do when the E24 message appears?

Sounds like it is time for a new unit. your problem is not worth fixing as it is either a failing laser pickup due to age, or the laser beam is caked with tar from smoking. New blurays are quite inexpensive. Please dispose of the unit responsibly.

It will be either that you have not formatted the disc or that you are using the wrong type of disc. You will need a DVD+RW on a + machine or DVD-RW on a - machine. Most recorders will playback the other type but not record on it.

I had this problem when copying an old family vhs tape. I had to unscrew the top of the magnavox to access the vhs tape. Then, I gently removed the tape and replaced the cover. After winding the tape back, I put it in the player and immediately pushed fast forward for about 3 seconds before hitting play followed by d.dubbing. I was able to make a copy of the tape and did not damage my original.

If I remember correctly, VCR players had three speed settings. SP-short play, LP-Long play, and SLP- Super long play. The vcr is supposed to be able to tell what speed the tape was recorded at, thus playing it back at the correct speed. If your unit has lost the ability to sense the speed the tape was recorded then you will have to set the speed manually, if possible. Other than that I would have to say it's time to get a new vcr.

What you have is called a transport problem in the VCR unit--the mechanism is either jammed or something in it that loads the tape is bad.Every time it is used it cycles to self check the mechanism--if it fails it is usually a belt bad or a gear assembly not working.Someone would have to open unit to see what is happening.

Your TV must have a video and audio out RCA or S-VHS connector on it to be able to connect to the video and audio input side of your recorder.

HelloCheck for any borken drive belt in the mechanism.

HelloIt power supply regulator baord should be checked for any loose soldering points. Some coponents in it will heat up to an extent while the set works. Repeated heating and cooling may make solder points ot the components that get heated, and cause interruption to switching signals. Just take out the power baord, and resolder all the suspected doler points, by applying a little more solder, without making any solder bridge short in between adjecent solder points. If this do not help you contact the nearest Philips Authorised Service Center to get this set repaired. On rare occations, the supply board as card basis may be replaced. OK.
