Page 1 of Panasonic DVD Video Recorder DMR-E85H Problem

Has anyone with one of these machines ever had a problem with recoding programmes from the TV please?

Occasionally, like today for instance I set it up to record a movie from BBC2, but for some unaccountable reason it decided to miss it out. This has happened on quite a few movies. When it does record it is super, but when it decides to say "Balls to your recording," it really is most annoying.

Anyone else experienced this please?

If you`re setting up a timed recording, are you making sure the recorder is off when the time comes for it to start recording. It must be off.

Thank you for replying OMR. Yes I do have the machinery switched off, and it just remains stone-dead. However, this morning I set it up to record one minute of each TV programme; BBC1, BBC2, ITV3, ITV4. Cx5 and Sky and all were OK.

I was wondering if there are any software upgrades for this machine? >:( >:(

I doubt any software that needs upgrading. This Forum would be full of E85 problems. There is an Icon that is displayed on the display while the recorder thinks it has a program to record. You might check just before recording time, that it is present. This may lead you in the right direction. Your last post suggests probably some little quirk.

Thank you OMR. Iset it up today and it recorded OK. It it set up for a later recordeing, so fingers crossed. Otherwise I will have to live with the problem.

I do realise of course that it could be finger-trouble on my part?
