RE: Panasonic DMRE55...problem

Hi Brooktop...I seemed to have found the soloution to my problem. From now on I manually set the timer settings with PDC off and it seems to be OK. Everything I have set till now has been fine. Test it yourself and see how you get on.

RE: Panasonic DMRE55...problem

Thanks phelings, I`m going to remove the PDC and set recordings manually and see how it goes.
cheers.

RE: Panasonic DMRE55...problem

Yes bowfer...I`ve tried that... I set it earlier and it did`nt even start to record never mind finishing early! >:( damn pile of s**t >:(
I would`nt mind so much but this is the machine Panasonic sent me as a replacement for a dead one so you can imagine how frustrated I am >:(

RE: Panasonic DMRE55...problem

yeah the disk is blank, and I usually record in LP mode anyway so there is tons of room on the disk...it should`nt stop when it feels like it.
I have had nothing but trouble with Panasonic machines...I`m thinking of replacing it with the JVC vcr combo as it does ram as well....more expense I can`t afford! >:(

RE: Panasonic DMRE55...problem

thanks bowfer...i`ll try it

Panasonic DMRE55...problem

Hi... has anyone had their timer recordings end before the programme you are recording finishes?...This happens to me sometimes both when I`m using videoplus and also the normal timer recording method. PDC is always on.
I know it`s definatley finishing early because the space used is less than it should be.

Could this be because I have`nt formatted the disk?...do you need to format on a regular basis?...I use Panasonic ram disks which I have`nt formatted...I used them straight away after opening them.

This is my second DMRE55 (first one dead)...I`m getting rather p****d off with Panasonic. >:(

RE: Need help setting up my new Pansonic DMR E55 please...

Hi philth ... It does`nt switch off when I hold the channel up and down buttons.

Hi bowfer ... You need to access the setup screen to change the code and I can`t access the setup screen.

Thanks anyway guys. I`m going to call Panasonic I think.

RE: Need help setting up my new Pansonic DMR E55 please...

nothing happens when I press the function button

RE: Need help setting up my new Pansonic DMR E55 please...

Hi...I`ve had no luck with what you suggest. I think there is a fault in the machine somewhere because when I press the "power on" button on the remote control it does`nt come on (you need to press the "power on" button on the recorder itself to come on)...also when you do this it says "bye"!! then goes to the flashing"0:00". :(

RE: Need help setting up my new Pansonic DMR E55 please...

Thanks bowfer ... I`ll give it a try.
