DMR-E50 DVD recorder versus DMR-ES15 are these equivalent recorders

the recorded program might not compatible video format of your dvd player, tried to convert in other video format.

The unit failed during self check, probably the power regulation board. A check by a qualified TV/VCR repair person is in order.

U88 means the unit has detected an error while recording or playing and has entered its recovery process to restore the unit to normal operation. You could try using a DVD-RAM disk or a different make of DVD-R but, as you say the unit is new, you should probably return it to the retailer for exchamge, repair or refund according to unit age and retailer's return policy.

My DMR-ES15, dvd recorder is showing a U-61 code, I'd done all the instructions on my user manual. I think the problem is lost of memory. How can I get it back working. If I have to change chip of memory what is the part No., and how much will cost me in US dollars. Thanking you in advance.

My Panasonic Recorder DMR-ES10, will not play discs sent to me from the U/K,
using a L.G dr275 recorder, onto a DVD+R disc, how can i overcome this problem. regards Tom Escott.

Hi
That's very strange, I have not seen a Panasonic do that before.
There are two things I would try.

1) Remove the batteries from the remote controller. This will rule out the possibility of the buttons making contact due to moisture or a fault in the controller. Then see if the problem occurs.

2) Unplug the power cable from the DVD recorder and leave it disconnected for at least 30 minutes before reconnecting it. This will reset your machine in case something has been corrupted.

3) When you have reconnected it, check the programme settings to make sure they are all clear.

4) Your machine could be picking up some radio interference if there is a transmitter close by. This is an unlikely cause, but if you suspect it, try plugging your machine into a different power socket and re-route the connection cables.

This particular model, like numerous Panasonics, suffers with an overheating regulator on the power board. They almost all fail from about two years onwards. The regulator gets very hot during normal operation and is not adequately protected from thermal runnaway. Regulator faults can cause a number of problems such as continuous self checking, switching off, and not reading certain discs. I have not known the regulator to cause unprovoked recording, but there can always be a first time. If the regulator is causing problems, the unit is easy for an engineer to repair. I can provide information on how to repair faulty Panasonic regulators if you need it.

Best wishes

The DVD-RAM Disk had trouble afeter Multiple recordings or any scratches. Buy a new DVD-RAM Disk and Try using that.

Pan. DMR-ES15 I WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ANY DISC I PUT IN. WILL NOT PLAY A COMMERCIAL DVD MOVIE. SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED WHEN IT COULDN'T FINALIZE A RECORDED DISC. HOW TO RESET?

You can only record to dvd-ram or dvd-r NOT dvd-rw!
