problem with DVDR3595H 250Gb

[marekk]

Hello,

Please advice me what should i do. My DVDR does not start. It only shows up on the dispay message "Starting.." and the light Hdd Active is on (this even when my hdd is removed) and only a white screen with the logo Philips shows on my tv.
I whant to mention that i connected the HDD to my pc and formated it.
Now what i want to ask is if i need some driver for my DVDR3595H copied on the hdd ? or what should i do next ?
Thank you all.

Well, it's not that nobody wants to help, it's that probably nobody knows the answer to your problem. I live in the USA and here in North America, almost all of the companies have stopped making DVD recorders for us. I don't know if that model was ever sold here. The only Philips DVD recorders that I know of that were sold here were earlier models than what you have. So what I want to say is that probably nobody in North America knows the answer to your question and that removes a lot of potential help.

You might try to ask here:
