I just got a Sony VRD-MC5. It made a LOT of coasters until I finally
figured out what was going on.

The premium bundles, like Encore and HBO, are carrying some sort of
signal it doesn't like. If you play a recording from one of those, or
even have one of them on in preview mode, the unit will mess up until
you unplug it and plug it in again. Mostly it says 'no input signal'
but it's done other wackiness as well.
