RE: Panasonic DMR-E85 Channel Tuning Problem
Sorry if I`m being thick, but what do you mean by key in the channel?
The only channels it found are already tuned in & are watchable...?
Panasonic DMR-E85 Channel Tuning Problem
I have just set up my new E85, and I can`t get some of the channels that the TV picks up tuned in. Eg. TV gets Channel 5, E85 doesn`t.
Ordinarily this wouldn`t be a problem, but by using the NTL aerial point I get a load of free channels. The E85 picks up Channels 1-4, and four of the extra 11 channels...
Does anyone know if it is possible to manually tune in channels on the E85? - It seems to only scan a number of preset channels...
RE: VHS to DVD
Was basing it on the manual, which doesn`t shed any extra light on it at all, only says the same as the website..!
I`ve just tried a +RW disc (written on the PC), and it plays fine in the E85. Haven`t got any +R`s, so can`t test them.
RE: VHS to DVD
I just bought an E85 - very pleased with it! The only thing is that the manual isn`t very clear, but thats probably because I don`t know enough about dvd recorders!
You`re not looking in the wrong place, it only supports -RAM or -R.
RE: VHS to DVD

I`m new to the forum, and since the dvd player has broken, and the vcr is old, I`m in the market for a dvd recorder to replace both.
I`m leaning toward a HDD + DVD unit, primarily to enable me to watch a rented dvd whilst recording, but also to avoid the "Quick its starting! - bugger, I haven`t got a disc!" moment.
I`m considering the Panasonic DMR-E85 (*), the Sony RDR-HW900 & the Toshiba RD-XS32 (although the Tosh is a definate 3rd choice!) - Any recommendations/opinions gratefully received!?
I`m not fussed by multi-region, and a DV Input isn`t a requirement, as I use the PC for that.
Also, I need to transfer old VHS onto DVD - anybody know if this is easily done with any of the above?
Thanks in advance!
* - I`ve seen various flavours of this eg. HEBS & EBS, can anyone shed any light on the differences please?
