Not having Cable TV would not stop it playing back a DVD. A good TV aerial, with new cable will cure any bad TV signals, but the fact that it is not playing back a DVD everytime tells me that there is something wrong with the unit's mechanism.
The Panasonic engineer in this case doesn't know what he is talking about.

sounds like total hogwash to me. Your description of the problem smacks of an internal error within the unit itself.
this is not exaustive but could lend itself to a buggy firmware upgrade or a noisy power supply problem which is causing the microprocessor to "Hang".
There is many forums including this one with the same lament as yours. It is widely known that power supplies in the panasonics are under engineered and have a tendency to overheat and cause many problems including rebooting, constantly "self checking", etc.
My suggestion is to take the unit to another "accredited' Panasonic Service agent and get a second opinion - Good Luck
SOURCE: where can i find a manual for my Panasonic DMR-EZ48V recorder?
