This morning my Samsung LCD HDTV and JVC DR-MV1S both went off while I was viewing a tape I had recorded in another VCR. The TV & JVC unit immediately came back on but "Loading" began flashing on the JVC's dispalay. In about 1 minute or less, the tape began playing again without any input from me. Later on I burned a CD on my computer and tried to play it in the JVC unit. I opened the DVD tray & inserted the CD(it might have been blank). The display showed "NOW READING". Nothing else happened so I tried to remove the CD but the tray would not open. I then turned off the power to the JVC unit by shutting off the TripLite surge protector all my electronics are plugged into(TV, cable box, JVC unit). I then turned the power back on and the display on the JVC flashed "Loading". This finally went away and was replaced by "Hello". I can't turn the unit off, I can't open the DVD tray or set the DVD timer. The VCR side seems to be OK. I contracted JVC tech support and the technician advised me to turn the unit off which I did again but I'm getting the same thing. I saw your post on Pechorin's site so I hope you can be of some help. The JVC tech guy advised that if it's a loading problem, the unit will be repaired at no charge but if it's another problem, I will be advised of the charge for the repair and the unit has to be sent to Georgia. Thank you in advance.
