problems with JVC DR-M10S "LOADING"
I have now had two of these machines and both appear to have suffered from the same fault.
Just after 12 months of purchase the first of my purchases started to display green flashes and other picture interference (not sure of the technical term here) during playback.
The timer was also affected if set for a recording more than say 24 hours later.
I put this down to my fault in playing a DVD+r disc when only DVD-R are suitable.
Unfortunately this was just past the 12 months warranty date.
The machine functioned perfectly if unplugged then reconnected from the mains for a short time although once reconnected "LOADING" flashed intermitently on the display for some time before it could be used.
Deciding to cut my losses I purchased an identical machine which seemed to working perfectly for a few months and I ensured only DVD-R discs were used.
Then for no apparent reason the second machine developed an identical fault and will only work for a limited period before it has to be unplugged and reconnected thus displaying the "LOADING" message again.
This obviously is not good for long term timer recordings.
Is this fault repairable and has anyone else encountered the same problem with this model?
I had heard read reviews of the DR-M10S but I am afraid I will be looking elsewhere should a new recorder be required.
