Ron M Unregistered guest | I am trying to set up my DVD recorder. I have gone from satelite output by s-video to AVR, then from AVR to DVD and the to TV, all by s-video. All I get is a blue screen. If I try setting up channels, it says it doesn't find any. I have also tried eliminating the AVR and going direct from satellite to DVD with the same results. What am I doing wrong? |

Ron M Unregistered guest | Thanks. I figured out the problem. After having a DVD player for so long, I forgot that the DVD recorder has to be on channel 3, just like the old VCR was. By the way, I couldn't find that in the manual, which is rerally pretty flimsy considering all of the capabilities of the unit. |

If so I can help you with advice, the Dimax company sell device that call DVD Red Pro (read about it on www.dimax.com.ua). Device allow to copy your disks to DVD or videotapes and even to remove protection if it there is on some disks. Hope it's help you. Andy. |

Unregistered guest | Last Thursday I recorded the movie "Tremors" onto the HDD of my Panasonic DMR-E85H DVD Video Recorder from BBC1. On Sunday evening I started to dub the above movie from the HDD to a Panasonic DVD-R Disc at Single Play. On Monday morning I checked the transfer onto the DVD-R disc. 28 minutes into the movie on the DVD-R disc the picture freezes. The picture remains frozen for 4/5 seconds. It then continues at a point 4/5 seconds later in the movie. I checked at the point the movie freezes and did a frame by frame advance. At this frozen point there are frames from ITV1's "I'm A Celebrity- Get Me Out Of Here" which I had recorded earlier on Sunday evening onto the HDD from ITV1. I then decided to check the version of the movie "Tremors" on the HDD. At this same point in the movie (28 minutes in) it freezes, and if a frame by frame advance is applied again in "pause" mode, Ant & Dec can be clearly seen from "I'm A Celebrity..." Somehow the movie on the HDD has frozen while dubbing across to disc and recorded a 4/5 clip from an earlier recording onto both the HDD and the DVD-R disc. However this short clip of Ant and Dec will not play within the movie. The original movie (Tremors) simply freezes for 4/5 seconds and then picks itself up 4/5 seconds later. Ant and Dec can only be seen when doing the "frame by frame" advance. This is now the 3rd occurrence of an incident like this. At first I thought it was a freak incident. But now I am getting concerned. On 2 other instances a couple of "pop" videos recorded from the BBC have frozen in similar manner in mid flow. When checked using frame by frame advance there is another clip there for the frozen 4/5 seconds from a recording I had made earlier. Any advice or technical help please on what may be the likely cause of this and how this can be rectified. This is the second machine from Panansonic in less than 6 months (my original purchase was replaced by this, a re-conditioned unit, after only 5 weeks!). It makes me very wary about the quality and reliability of this particular model. Is there anything I should be aware? Am I doing anything wrong? |

Bronze Member Username: TonytigerPA US Post Number: 92 Registered: Feb-04 | I'm running an E-80 and a E-40 and have not experienced any problem like this. Is it possible that the incoming signal is interrupted and the HDD doesn't record anything (hence, the image of the previous recording) at that spot? Are you using PAL/SECAM mode or NTSC? |
