During the Initial Set Up, I am being asked to set the Clock. Does this model have Auto Clock Set? Why is my remote not working after I change batteries? After replacing the batteries, the remote code is reset to C. Refer to page 8 of the instruction book and set it. Can I control my TV or Satellite box using this remote? The remote control supplied with DR-M150 is not a multi-brand-remote. Why the newly recorded DVD plays in the DRMV150B but does not play in other DVD players? You must "Finalize" the DVD before it can play in another DVD player. Please see page 22 in the Instruction book. What DVDs can I use to record on my DRMV150B?

This recorder can record copy permitted video on normal recordable disc and copy once video on CPRM disc. Contact the retailer or JVC parts department for CPRM disc. Why my DR-MV150B is showing a distorted picture? The DR-MV150B has a progressive scan feature. This feature only works with a TV that accepts progressive scan signal. If the picture is distorted, press OUTPUTSTATUS button on the front panel repeatedly to select 480i. Refer to page 6 of the Instruction book. Why is the VCR playback picture distorted when the output status is set to 1080p? When viewing VCR playback, the picture can be distorted when output status is selected to 1080p. If the picture is distorted, press OUTPUT STATUS on the front panel repeatedly until the picture appears normal. Refer to page 6 of the Instruction book.

Press OUTPUTSTATUS button and select 480i or 480p in order to watch the video signal from COMPONENTOUT. LVT2018-001B 0309SKMLGEEGL
This unit doesnt have an Auto Clock Setting. You will need to manually set the clock as shown on page15 of the owners manual under the Initial Setup Wizard. You can also look on page 17 of the owners manual and follow the directions for Clock-Set.
When I turn on my DR-MV150B, it flashes "Hello" and buttons on the remote control or the front panel are not responding for 10 - 15 seconds. Is this normal? When the DR-MV150B is first turned on, it will flash" Hello" for a few seconds. Please wait until "Hello" stops flashing before using. After a disc is inserted into the tray, it takes 25-30 seconds until the set can be operated. Why cant I see Menu, DVD playback, VHS playback, or the Recording channel on my TV? The recorder must be connected to the television using AV cables or HDMI cable, and the televisions input mus be selected correctly to see the video. Refer to the TVs instruction book. My TV has RF connector only. How can I view the Recorder Menu, DVD playback, VCR playback or Channel scan? For viewing the Recorder video on TV that has only RF connector, you have to use an RF converter. Refer to the Quick Start Guide. How can I watch one program while recording another program Connect the recorders Antenna IN to the wall connector. Connect the recorder to the TV using RF cable and AV cable. Perform channel scan on both TV and the recorder. Select the viewing channel on the TV and the recording channel on the recorder. Use the TVs input select to flip between the two. I am using cable box. Why am I unable to watch one program while recording another one Your cable box or Satellite box outputs the selected channel through all outputs (RF, AV, or HDMI). In order to watch one channel while recording another, you need to connect cable signal (not from the cable box) or antenna signal direct to the TV using RF connection How do I set timer recording?
