This depends on what source you are recording from and where you are watching it. You can Ex: Record from a Satellite, While watching a program from TV-Tuner normal broadcast. Still If you want only use SAT or Digital, then you can't change that source.
So it's what your using for source. How many outputs it can give you.
if its connected via hdmi try connecting it another way. if not it sounds like you have a power protection issue. you can reset the built in surge protector by keeping it unplugged for around 10 minutes and re plugging it in if that doesnt work you may fried an onboard fuse. some are replaceable and some are not sorry for the bad news hope that doesnt hurt my rating lol. please let me know if this works tho
I have a toshiba Hdd & DVD / Video Recorder However I can not get it to work with my Sky setr up If I set thimer recording it does not work when I turn it on it will only work pn channels that are not from sky it will not instant record nor will it record programmes prerecoreded of sky HDD it will record everthing other than what I want.
The fan will not switch off when the player is in hdd record mode, for instance if you set the hard drive to record a weeks programs then the fan will run for the week ! its one of the many down sides to this unit......so in a nutshell... you have to live with it ! sorry. chris
If the problem is the vcr section you load a tape and it shuts down, it probably is the idler assembly that is not transporting tape correctly. I recommend a vcr/tv tech to check the unit with an estimate.
I think by your description that you have a bad loading basket, it might be repairable but don't be surprised if they suggest a new one (if it is available)
If you mean to play DVD’s that you may have purchased in another country the see below
For that you need to do a Google for "mymodel region free" or "region free hack"
Not all DVD players are capable of this often very simple modification that many manufacturers build into DVD player. (Usually just involves the remote control and a combination of keys)
Your search will turn up a lot of sharks that want money for the hack (fix)
IGNORE THEM
There are a lot of sites where the information is free.
I am STILL (lauren) unsure of FIXYA's policy on this topic and am awaiting further clarification on the issue with regards to handing out these codes as this is not HACKING in the same sense as pirate software etc. it is just enabling an extra feature that the manufacturer provided. I would prefer not to get my @ss kicked. That is why I can only give you the search terms rather than site links or specific information
Hi - No, it isn't fixed yet. However, for some reason, if you will notice, at the top of this page in blue lettering, there is a reference to a "Toshiba, DVR........ . I did not notice that until after I had posted the request for help. The problem is with a new "Magnavox ZV457MG9" recorder/player. I would dearly love to find out how to fix the problem - I hate to give up - in fact I don't think I can give up! Hopefully, someone in your group will help shed some light on this! Thanks for checking, Ginny
This is a known issue with this TV. The following might resolve it:
Check Mute and Volume:
Ensure that the TV is not muted and that the volume is set appropriately. Sometimes accidental button presses can lead to muted sound or low volume.
Inspect External Speakers:
If you're using external speakers, verify their connections. Loose cables or faulty speakers can cause sound issues.
Test Different Inputs:
Connect a non-HDMI device (such as a DVD player) to the TV. Observe if the sound distortion occurs. If it doesn't, the problem might be related to the HDMI signal from your Virgin box.
HDMI Troubleshooting:
If the issue persists with the DVD player over HDMI, consider the following:
HDMI Cable: Check the HDMI cable for damage or loose connections.
Virgin Signal: Contact Virgin to inspect the signal/lines and replace the box if necessary.
Mainboard Replacement (if needed):
If the sound distortion persists, it could be due to a faulty sound processor chip on the TV's mainboard. In this case, consider replacing the mainboard.

There may be loose contact or track open in main board.So try to check the main board thoroughly where you may find the loose of connection or track open.
Locate the Battery Cover: Look for the battery cover on the back of the remote control. It is usually a small compartment that can be easily opened.
Remove the Battery Cover: Depending on the design, there may be a latch, screw, or sliding mechanism to secure the battery cover. Use your fingers or a small screwdriver to open the compartment.
Remove Old Batteries: Take out the old batteries from the battery compartment. Pay attention to the orientation of the batteries, so you know how to insert the new ones correctly.
Check Battery Polarity: Take note of the positive (+) and negative (-) signs inside the battery compartment. Make sure to insert the new batteries with the correct polarity to match these markings.
Insert New Batteries: Place the new batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring they are properly aligned with the correct polarity. Press them down gently to make sure they are secure.
Replace Battery Cover: After inserting the new batteries, close the battery compartment cover securely. If it has a latch or screw, make sure it is fastened properly.
Test the Remote: Point the remote at the device it controls (such as a Toshiba TV) and test whether it responds to your commands. If the remote is working correctly, you have successfully replaced the batteries.
Dispose of Old Batteries: If the old batteries are no longer usable, make sure to dispose of them properly. Many communities have designated recycling locations for batteries.

They are purely a numerical identifier of when it was made, year, day, number on the shift, whether it Joe or Billy who did final inspection.
With a MODEL number I can find them easily with just 'make model manual'.
