Panasonic DMR ES30V DVD and Video Player Combi: SLF Error

Hello,

check it out this link, maybe can help you https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repairing+a+Panasonic+SA-HT810V+with+the+H02-H07+error/2708

Try to clean reading head from vhs player with isopropilic alcohol, maybe is dirt and give this error.

Good luck !

it means the video you are trying to play is incompatible, it somethimes does the same on mine

Error indication u99

After development of the DVD drive and the frame lying under this the cause is nearby a horizontally placed circuit board one Elko 630 uF lid which ones probably lifted presumably is.

Clean the DVD side with a good lens cleaner !

Try a different brand of blank dvd+r or -r. you will find that your dvd machine is fussy on what discs it plays. More exspensive dvd players are fussy with what dvd discs you put in, as cheaper dvd players would virtualy play most types of dvds.

U99 ≥The unit fails to operate properly. Press [POWER í/I] on the main unit to switch the unit to
standby. Now press [POWER í/I] on the main unit again to turn the unit on.

Let me know if it is still not operating. there was a power failure and that has caused the U99 code.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

My compliments to the foresight of your father. Your described concern is not caused by a "lock". It is indicative that the recording session was not 100% completed. Rather than 'crack', what is required is the final step in the recording. All the DVDs must be "finalized" in the same machine that recorded the movies, the Panasonic DVD Recorder DMR-ES30V. The finalize option would be in the MENU/Settings and must be enabled. Finalization per disc would take some time.

Good luck and thank you for using FixYa.

Appreciate the direct "Ask Me".

Since both are record capable:

• hook the Video and Left/Right Audio OUT of the DMR-ES30V to one of the composite/matching INPUT of the DMR-EX88;
• use the DMR-ES30V as a player and the DMR-EX88;
• to be able to watch and monitor the output, temporarily hook up the OUTPUT of the DMR-EX88 to the INPUT of the TV.

Hey scott10news,

According to your owners manual(http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMRES30V.PDF) Its showing SLF Check means there has been a power interruption and the system is attempting "restoring" itself.

Unfortunately, I had somewhat of a similar problem with my Panasonic DVDR. Every time i tried to record or finalize a disc it would just display recover and then shut off. The reason I say unfortunately is I had to send it out for service to be repaired, there appears to have been a problem where the unit was had become corrupted.

It might be necessary to bring the unit in for a diagnostic and/or estimate for repairs.

Wish I had better news.
