JVC HMDH40000U D-VHS HDTV Digital Video Recorder
Problems with HMDH40000U
I purchased two separate units, neither would work out of the box. Received the same error message: 201 calibrating, please wait.  I waited hours, reset, ect.  Could never get them to work, called JVC, they were of no help.  I have used the earlier model 30000 for years with no problems. Purchased the HMDH5U after giving up on the 400000.  The HDMI out does not work on the HMDH5U and now play back without problems is sporadic.  Every 10 minutes it shuts off comes back on after 20 seconds.
