i will try to help, but it is going to be hard for me to explain it all. first off mine works fine , but i have it hooked up to one vhs/dvd combo.an one vhs/ dvd recorder. this is hooked up to about 11 or 12 rca cables an it plays thru the tv, but you have to have this unit pluged in between two vcrs .. i know it is confushing, but you have to figure out the instructions, this might take a while. it took two us to figure this out, but it works fine , great picture an everything. i sure hope this helps. phil

If you open the box, there is a potentiometer that allows for finding the scrambling frequency. the issue will be that you may have to make some adjustment, record a bit and test, till you find the right frequency. Hope this helps.

I don't have any idea, but its doubtful. The Stabilizer was designed to counter the Macrovision copy protection from the 1980s. I used COPY123 to make a backup DVD, then copied that backup to a VHS tape... worked great !

That was exactly what I tried to use, a dvd-r uncopyrighted home movie, and it did NOT work. I tried a variation of brands and discs, but nothing would work. I went through about 30 discs before I gave up. And this unit was a nightmare to return.

Hi, sorry to hear about that. I used mine just to copy a HDD once and it worked fine, I haven't used after that.

The most likely problem would be the AC DC adapter power cord is broken. Try replacing it with a new adapter of the exact specification (also jack size).

Any disc that goal the CD is not read music video always gets me an error and tells me no copy available Another thing it says is a resolution of 800x400 and 320x170 videos look in a bad quality

Were you able to copy the DVD from the VRDMC5 model? You mentioned using a "duplicator" -- can you specify what that is?

My BD player also requires semi frequent unplugging to resolve freezing or disc loading fine, like getting menu prompts to work, froze. And cannot manually or remotely open tray or turn power off/on. Recently ONLY my Star Trek season sets did this in addtion to NOT recognizing the discs or load properly or at all.....so I did a factory reset and it resolved issue.

Honestly I would just give up and run to an airport or train station and buy a new one from another company. As I said in my review, even when mine was in converter mode, if didn't limit the power like it should. It fried one device, but luckily everything else was dual voltage. If your things are dual voltage, my next question would be are you using it worn an extension cord or power strip, because it doesn't like those. Just make SURE your stuff is rated for the higher volts and plug them straight in.

You might want to check their website for the latest drivers. The one on the disc is usually not the newest.

I'm not a hundred percent sure about the machines in question, but the stabilizer has rca jacks that works pretty universally. My biggest problem was that I thought it wasn't working but it has a PAL/NTSC switch that was switched to PAL and I'm NTSC. So once that was corrected, it worked as expected.

Unplug the unit for at least 10 minutes. See if it's still showing the incompatible. If not put in a disc that dies work well. If the unit has not shown the incompatible message then you know it's the disc. Hope that helps.

it depends on the OS (Operating System) you are using and the version of it, but a solid solution for any OS it's download and install VLC player, if this does not fix the problem, try the DVD+/-RW USB External Drive on another computer and see what happen.

You would be beter off buying a diffrent printer. I think I still have the disc and you are welcome to it. E-mail rmiller@ransome.com

If you can open it in disk utility and try to repair permissions that may work. Otherwise you may have to send it to Sony.
