A problem I've noticed is a when using ext.DVB tuner, using RGB scart, a faint vertical line can sometimes be seen run from right to left across the picture, at a rate of about 1.5 seconds. It usually only visible in dark sequences and esp. in credits where a black background is used. It's not very ...

nealjane I'd be interested to know when the mh300 was made. I think the sticker at the right on the back should say on the bottom line i.e. 07/2006. I'm going from memory but I think its like that.

Thanks again Andy for the info, hopefully JVC will make a replacement DVD/HDD before it goes, I'm way to reliant on it at the moment!

Hi I've got a MH300 question which I think relates to this topic. It's regarding the MH300 DVDRW'er problems, I wondered if I could clear up which replacement models can be used. Mine's OK :| but it's about a year old and burnt 120+ disks so I'm looking at backup/repair options. The MH300 is probabl...

It would be interesting to find out how much an approved JVC repair shop would charge for a burner/HDD replacement. Not as much as I would I've just gone and bought a MH300 :!: :D None of the JVC software/firmware is in the Public Domain. It's annoying when companies like LiteOn are completely free...

Interesting I'll tread carefully,
Fortunately, a new burner can be changed easily.
would that be easily if you know how, or really easy? I take it only the specific drive could be used which could prove a costly part though.
Just a safety net!

Thanks for that quick reply. You've cleared up the HDMI fault. As for the burner issue I think that may suggest that a MH300/MX10 re-furb unit is a better option. Presuming its had the burner issue righted and with a full warranty. I say this as if the burner is going to fail anyway its best to get ...

victory That's very interesting. Sound ominous for JVC. Unfortunatly earlier models don't have the RGB scart input for current digital rec. Do you know if the burner replacement is successful, are they using a different replacement brand? As far as the HDMI fault do you know if this develops over t...

So I wondered ...
