The panasonic dmr e55 will burn a disc from my video camera and play on the dvd player but no other dvd player. and i read all the instructions step for step

Try pressing and holding ENTER and RETURN on the remote simultaneously and see if that clears the problem.

Good luck!

TRY FINALIZING THE DISC IN THE SAME UNIT IT WAS RECORDED IN.

THe problem was not with the remote but with the hookup of the player.

try reducing the burning speed and try with a different burning software

You will have no problem playing your non finalized discs on any of the Panasonic DMR range including the DMR EZ28 series. The DMR E55 can also easily be repaired if you can use a soldering iron and a little care. Please checkout my other postings for full repair details.

Did you check the device the camera plugs into to see if it could be the problem. The video input might be dropping the color burst signal.

Hi Benyto

Thank you for the information. Sorry that you are having such problems.

Nearly all the problems on ths DMR E55 are due to a faulty power board. The greatest load on the power supply is when the unit first reads discs and also when finalizing. Sometimes the unit cannot read discs and sometimes it continuously self checks.

Try replacing IC001 on the power board. This is a 5 pin regulator #STRG6353. This component gets very hot and the heatsink is poor. When I replace these, I use a larger heatsink and some heatsink paste which helps to prolong the life of the component. If you look at the regulator, you will see by the colour of the circuit board that it gets very hot. It fails after two or three years in all DMR E55s.

Be careful when you take the old regulator out because the print can lift away from the circuit board.

I have posted full instructions on how to replace the STRG6353 >HERE<

Hope this helps

I have been told that panasonic now have a faster speed disc on sale to suit the newer dvd recorders that dmr-e55 cannot record on as they are too fast. You have to buy the slower speed ram discs to suit the dmr-e55.

while you was replacing the voltage regulator you damage part of the microchip computer replace it.there after your worries will be over
