NEED THE DRIVERS FOR THIS PANASONIC DVR

Check all your connections and configuration between decoder to DVR and TV. I find it is more practical to use the DMI connectors for this purpose. Between my LG TV, LG DVR, LG Blue Ray Player and Decoder I use 3 DMI connector cables. Ideal for me because my TV has 3 DMI points, I just connect each of 3 items to TV via a DMI cable. Now connect decoder to DVR via video-audio cable (red-white-blue). This setup allows each unit to be used individually (i.e. tv viewing, recording, blue ray playing and when recording live TV the TV can be switched off while recording. Just remember to select the appropriate DMI connected unit on your TV remote (on "input" button).

If you have previously connected the recorder:
1. Make sure the recorder is connected correctly.
2. Open the 'System' control panel: Start menu -> Control Panel -> System.
3. Click the 'Hardware' tab and then click the 'Device Manager' button.
4. Right-click the item that shows as 'Digital Voice Recorder' and choose 'Uninstall' or 'Remove'.
5. Disconnect the recorder.

If you have the software already installed:
1. Open the 'Add / Remove Programs' (Pre-Vista) OR 'Programs and Features' (Vista) control panel: Start menu -> Control Panel -> Add / Remove Programs (Pre-Vista) OR Programs and Features (Vista).
2. Click 'Olympus Digital Wave Player' and choose 'Change / Remove' or 'Uninstall'.

Please restart the computer before reinstalling if you had connected the recorder or installed the software previously.

There is no driver for this unit. Also I don't believe this unit is hooked up to the computer. I have reviewed the entire user manual and it doesnt reference that anywhere. You can download the updated firmware from their website though:

Thank you,

Panasonic has a web site below where you can download drivers to a disc that can be used to update your dvr. It also has
the operationg instructions on PDF that you can download & print.

Hope this is helpful

I have windows vista and my drivers load fine. Plug in the unit and the drivers load. I have the 4 camera easycap and the VCR easycap. Install drivers first before plugging in the unit. Restart computer, plug in unit, check device manager if there is a stk1150 loaded under image. My problem is getting small files from the recordings. I converted 2 mins of my daughters dance solo and it turned out 1.7gb AVI file without sound. Changing the options to mpeg or WV files will crash the program becuase something doesn't match. I need to play with it more to understand it better.

dear sir i have panasonics dmr-e85h dvd recorder .

At first set the recording lenght on your phone(example 5 min) and then start recording, after the recording length is completed it automatically saves your recording file

If it is hooked up right to record as the program is on. Then make sure the input is set correctly, the tv should show pic from ext-1 the e-55 should be on channel 3. This should solve ur problem.

Try this link, click on PHOTO VU and choose your operating system.

My record lock is turn off, but every time I press the record stop to stop record it takes me to the password screen where I must enter a password before I can stop the recording....This piece of xxxxx is stink. I hate my Samsung SHR-1040...I cant even talk to Samsung about it.....When I call, they transfer me to India and they dont even know what a DVR is......I told them DVR 10 times, but they keep repeating to me " VCR"
