Hello,

I have an issue with my DVD recorder with HDD (Magnum DRW 2506)... Bought at ALDI.

After planning several movies, it records the first one fine but for the second recording the recorder stops!!

Also, when I turn off the player, the clock display disappears and I have to reprogram each time!!!

Could you help me resolve these problems?

Thanks in advance....
Patricia.

    Hello

    I have had this device for a year, I find that it records correctly from the SCART port
    However I cannot copy videos recorded to the hard drive.

    I have read the manual. Documentation that I think is very poorly done (which I think).

    So, I am asking you about this procedure for copying the recorded videos to the hard drive

    NB: I know how to copy to the DVD burner

    Thank you in advance

      Hello Patricia,
      I would like to obtain an installation CD or at least a user guide as well. I have had this recorder for a very long time; in terms of recording it works fine, but when opening the DVD tray I solved the problem by threading a small wire inside that I pull while I press 'open'—it's a DIY fix, but it works.
      However, recently, when I select 'dubing' to have the recording on a DVD-RW, I end up with the recording twice??? whereas before I only had the various .VOBs ripped to my computer once. So how can I revert to the original configuration? perhaps with an installation CD?
      Thanks to anyone who still cares about this recording-burner for giving me some tips.

      Hello, do you still have this engraver?
      I just bought one second-hand and I couldn't get the manual.
      Would you be able to provide it to me? by scan or photocopies.
      I will reimburse you if there are any costs incurred
      Thank you

    Hello everyone,

    We may have some good news for you, the company SIEMTECH based in Toulouse has just taken over the after-sales service for MAGNUM brand products, including this one. SIEMTECH is in direct contact with the supplier, and I think that in a little while on this same forum SIEMTECH will be able to provide more information and/or updates.

      Hello, What a joy to read your message!!!! In addition to the previously mentioned malfunctions, today I have a DVD stuck in the player!!! It cannot be removed, except perhaps by force, which my husband advises against. That is why I rushed to get an update.... But what will happen with the warranty? I believe we are nearing the end!!! The equipment was purchased on: 10/05/06. Please keep us informed of the next steps to take. Best regards, Patricia.

      I just sent a engraver back to you; it came back with the message "no fault found" even though the drawer won't open. This company is terrible, so here's good advice: don't waste your time with them, and above all, don't buy a Magnum-brand engraver.

      I sent my camera for repair to CGM on May 19, 2008, and since then I have had no news. Supposedly now it is you, Siemtech, who are handling the repairs, with repair number 58564. I hope to hear news as soon as possible. Best regards.

    Hello everyone,

    A small tip for the drawer that won’t open: unplug the power, remove the screws from the cover, gently open it and unscrew the cover of the DVD reader, retrieve your DVD, and then see if a notch has jumped at the drawer level. I can’t really explain the exact procedure, but by feel I managed to fix it. When the drawer closes, a magnet that’s too strong is likely blocking the opening… so for me you must imperatively leave a DVD inside, otherwise there’s no way to open it and you’ll have to open it manually again, don’t force it too much...

    Otherwise I have a second problem that appeared: the power on/off command no longer works when pressing either the remote or the front panel button. The display shows HELLO and then resets to the time, so the player is unusable... Has anyone ever had this problem, if so is it resolved and above all how did you do it???

      I also had this problem with the remote control, I opened it up and cleaned the contact board with acetone and it’s working again.

    I own the same device and it has a crowd of malfunctions, multi-programming is impossible, and these days it’s impossible to burn a DVD from a film onto the hard drive, I’m using the same type of blank DVDs with which I could burn. Have you requested a firmware update CD from the after-sales service?
    Regards

      Have you found a solution since 15/01/07 about recording the DD on the DVD

      I was given this info: use burning software.

        Hello,
        No, my MAGNUM still doesn’t work, even though it’s in a closet....
        Being a poor IT person, I would kindly ask you to provide me with the features of your troubleshooting...
        Thank you in advance for your very kind assistance...
        Best regards.

    Hello
    Same problem as you "Multiple programming impossible or capricious. Do more than two recordings and you will see that the second is done but with the third string, strange.
    Device sent for repair because the after-sales service does not send us a firmware update. But it's rather long.
    If you specify your address Emel I will give you the result.
    For now, there is no battery to keep it, so never turn off the device with the power switch but just in case "General Menu - Auto Time" and by setting TF1 (the tuner of the recorder) the time automatically resets.
    Regards

    Hello,
    I also bought the MAGNUM DRW 2506 reader and I have lost the user manual.
    Could you send it to me by email or as photocopies (I can reimburse the costs)?
    Thanks in advance

      Hello,
      I just wanted to know if you had received the installation manual, and, if so, if you could send it to me?

      Thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    I’ve just purchased this unit as well, but when I program a recording, nothing starts. I just see the little red clock flashing and that’s it. Has anyone had the same issue before? Thanks for your replies.

    Hello
    7 months of problems with this SAOL DVD writer.
    The after-sales service is nonsense and the sales management is driving me crazy for a month while waiting for a refund.

    Hello,
    I’m still at the same point!!
    I can’t find a solution to the problem.
    No way to find that famous reinstallation CD, nor a technician, and even less the reimbursement from ALDI which no longer considers the warranty after more than 1 year.....
    Best regards.
    Anyway, thanks to everyone who might be able to help me....

    I finally got approval from management to be reimbursed.
    I insisted for a month.

    Hello,

    I have owned this device for more than 7 months, a warranty exchange for the old 80 GB model that failed.
    All bugs are resolved by switching to English language.
    I am super satisfied.

    We just bought a Philips 160 GB burner to give as a gift, the software is the same as on the Magnum. ???

    If someone can tell me about a Firmware update

    I also had problems with a 2506 HDD DVD, after contacting support and then sending it to Ronadis in Lyon, then from Lyon it goes to Belgium to Teknihall's after-sales service, which after many phone calls agreed to refund me after two months of waiting. I hope it happens soon.

    Hello,
    To eject a stuck disk, simply hold down the "power" and "open" keys at the same time. And there is magic: the disk ejects and my player works again after a new power-on!!!
