This unit works perfectly otherwise but when I insert an SD card in the slot, it immediately shuts itself down. Also if I insert the card before starting up, when I press the power button the blue light goes on for a few seconds, then it shuts down. This has happened with both a 2gb and a 1 gb card. However, I have another 1gb SD card from a digital camera which it works fine with. The 2 'problem' cards work fine in other devices so it couldn't be the cards. What could be causing this? Thanks.
Yes that's correct newer SD Cards use faster memory chips that are not always compatable, not just with this unit but you can have the same problem with cameras and other MP3 players as well.
The PVR-H140 is quite old now so stick to the older type cards, oh and they dont like being hot swapped, this can cause a shutdown or driver corruption, insert them before turning the unit on.

i have the same problem using a PNY 1GB card made in Taiwan. However, I have another PNY 1GB card bought much earlier, made in Japan, and that card works. I have another 1GB micro SD card made by San Disk with a regular SD card adapter and that also works fine. I think some card like the newer PNY have something incompatibility. Not sure what.
