Liteon LVW-5101 New Problems Unsolved

[tipstir]

Here we go again, more problems that haven't been solved yet.

1. Time Clock seems to be advancing by 10 to 12 minutes per day
2. Washed out Recordings and Playback (Contrast and Brightness way off)

Waiting for a new firmware or just replaced the units manufactured 8/04 to 12/04 to fix the problem.

Temporary fix for the Time Clock advanced is to a RESTORE TO DEFAULT
By doing this it will only last 20 days before it start up advancing.

Mine has not lost time yet,But you said it would last 20 days?

[tipstir]

Yes, but you'll have to reset the entire DVD Recorder to keep the clock on track.

What's the manufacturer date on the rear of the unit?

[canadateck]

Date is August 2004.

Hmm! That's what have???

Have you updated the firmware on it or done anything to it? Do you use it a lot for recording off the air or just dubbing stuff?

[canadateck]

Use it every day for TV cap and Dubbing.I have the updated firmware.

[canadateck]

In the last week have captured about 30 hours.

One question when did you purchased your unit? Or how long do you have it?

Right now I am keeping my eye on the 5006, I'll see how the 5101 is working later...

[canadateck]

2 weeks.

Now...In the last day the time has advanced 3 Minutes.

Have any of you guys face the audio being very low also? When recording & in the tv tuner???????

[gee69]

Hi,

do these lite-on units have a hard drive? if you record does it go straight to DVD? If you are using DVD-R will it continue to record until it is full and then close it?

I am new into these TV to DVD units.

I have the same washed out picture (contrast and brightness way too high) with the 5007. I tried two of them and they both have the same problem.

[tipstir]

Nope, no low audio here..

You need to get the Liteon 5045 with the 160GB HDD, this model the Liteon 5101 uses the DVD+R and DVD+RW to record. Yes the DVD disc will record until it's full.

Try the Liteon 5005, 5006 or 5045, but then again what type of TV you have it hooked up to?
