DVD Recorder Screen keeps saying HOLD and not switching on
My Panasonic DVD recorder DMR-EH50 won't switch on and just says HOLD if you press any button. Whatever button you press it says HOLD then goes back to the time on the screen. Can anyone help?

Highlight the recorded program on Direct Navigator then press the Sub Menu button on the remote, then select "Shorten Title". Press (Enter) at the start point and end point of the section you want to erase, then use the up/down button to select "Next". Then, select "Erase" to delete the unwanted sections. Repeat this process for all unwanted parts, then select "Exit" to return to Direct Navigator.
Your DVD recorder can be set up to accept remote contol signals on any one of three channels. Remote 1, Remote 2 or Remote 3.
Your remote can be set up to send signals on any of these channels. You need to make sure your recorder and remote are set to the same channel.
Your recorder is telling you that it is set to receive remote control signals on channel 3. This means your remote control is currently set for a different channel.
Assuming that you have a genuine Panasonic remote, do the following,
On your remote press the "Enter" button and hold it down. Then press the "3" button at the same time for two seconds, then release both. This will change your remote so it sends signals on Channel 3 which will match your recorder.
Those clever people at Panasonic realise that you will be delighted with their products and will probably have several of their appliances in use. The different channels avoids switching all your Panasonic gadgets at the same time. Clever huh?
The message displayed means that the remote control and unit are not communicating and the remote needs to be programmed. To program the remote, press and hold the same number that is displaying on the unit and the [ENTER] or [OK] button for more than 2 seconds. For example, if the unit displays “SET 2”, press and hold [2] and [ENTER] or [OK] for more than 2 seconds.
I have a Panasonic DMR EH50 DVD recorder and have just discovered this evening that everything on it is displayed in Black & White (tuner, recordings, menu, dvds etc). Yesterday everything was working in full colour. I have checked all my leads and have no solution to this problem and also need help.
Make sure remote is set to unit code ex: press enter and 1 at same time see if this matches try enter and 2 or enter and 3 see if this matches and works
Don't know if this will work for you, but I unplugged the player then plugged it back in again whlie holding down the power button. The player did not power up until I released the power button and pressed it again. That did it.
