flashes "Hello" and all the buttons on the
remote control and the front panel will not
respond for 10 - 15 seconds. Is this normal?

When your DR-MV77SU/78BU is first turned on, it
will flash "Hello" as the internal EPROM chip is
updated with information.

c Please wait until "Hello" stops flashing before you

attempt to use the remote control or front panel
buttons. It takes 25-30 seconds until the set

can be operated when a disc is on the tray.

My newly recorded DVD plays in my
DR-MV77SU/78BU but does not play in
other DVD players.

c You must "Finalize" the DVD before it can play in

another DVD player.
Please see page 21 in your owner’s manual.

During the Initial Set Up, I am being asked
to set the Clock. Does this model have Auto
Clock Set?

c Because of the new Tuner-Free design, this unit

doesn’t have an Auto Clock Setting. You will need
to manually set your clock as shown on page 17
of your owner’s manual under the Initial Setup
Wizard. You can also look on page 18 of your
owner’s manual and follow the directions for
Clock Set.

How can I record TV program? How can I
use Timer-Link function?

As this model has a new Tuner-Free design, you
need to connect an external tuner such as
Cable/Satellite box. If your Cable/Satellite box has a
programmable ON/OFF timer function, the recording
will start/stop at the programmed time (Timer-Link
function).

See page 34 of your owner’s manual for instructions
on how to use Timer-Link.

For additional troubleshooting tips please refer to pages 47-49 in your owners manual.
