Schneider DVDR HDD 160 Recording Freeze after some time

[[email protected]]

Hi

I have Schneider DVDR HDD 160 and when I record from any source to
hard disk or dvd in both cases the recording process freeze after less
than minute. The produced file when played also freeze after less than
minute.
Also the recorded sound is not playing while on the unit, but I tried
it on my pc after finalizing the DVD the sound is there but also the
file is stopped at the same place and the speed of file is not normal.
The time in witch the recorder file stops is different from each case
but it is constant for each file.
I tried from AV1 and AV2, and on Hard disk and DVD, also I changed all
the configuration but still same problem.
I even tried to record for 16 minutes but the resulted file stuck on
the 29th second.

any one can help?

Thanks un advance

You could try a full power off reset ( disconnect completely and don't plug
back in for at least 1/2 hr ), but sadly, the chances of getting to the
bottom of its problems are slim. I see fault descriptions like this on
similar items that pass across my bench, all the time, and short of
replacing whole sub assemblies, which some manufacturers do supply whilst
the item is under warranty, mostly, there is little that you can do. You
might try contacting the manufacturer to see if there are any known issues
to be causing the problem. Occasionally, there are update files to be
downloaded from their website, or update DVDs available. Daewoo are a
favourite for that, and sometimes, very obscure problems are cleared up,
just by doing a software reset / update.

You might also check the power supply. Examine all of the secondary side
electrolytics, and look carefully for any signs of their tops doming. If you
have an ESR meter, check them all. If you have a 'scope, just make sure that
none of the rails are dirty. Of the DVDR / HDDRs that are repairable, most
of the ones that are not fixed by software, turn out to be power supply
problems.

Sorry I can't be more positive ...
