DR-MH300 video recorder: after 4 years of smooth service this recorder started to fail in recording from TV broadcasting on its HDD. Although the timer is always ON + there's enough free space on HDD + programming data are set correctly, some televiews are then not recorded. The VPS function is always OFF. This is happening irregularly during the last 3 weeks for all types of recording frequencies - daily, weekly, single-shot. During a day some televiews are recorded, the others not. Sometimes the recording suddenly stops before the programmed time end. I've also taken note that several times a day, during the stand-by mode, the machine suddenly starts to flash the sign RESETTING, which takes usually a couple of minutes and then it gets back into the stand-by mode. The machine is in everyday use. I think the problem may be caused by the fragmentation of the HDD space. Please, is there any chance to repair it or it is already time to say farewell to the machine? Thanks in advance.
