I have a Panasonic DMR-ES10EB DVD recorder and want to know if I can record programmes from my new Panasonic TX-L32G20B TV

The safe way is to purchase a cleaning disk. It has two brushes on a disk that you put in the unit for a short time. You can buy them on line or at any electronics store.
Thanks for using just answer.

DVD-RW discs are ideal for temporary video recording and data backup, but they are not recommended for successful finalising, as there is no guarantee that the disc will work in another device.

Have you tried using DVD-R discs? these CAN be recorded in video mode AND finalised for compatible playback in other players. I assume the DMR-ES30V is a DVD/VCR combo unit - if so, the DVD recorder will not recognise RW discs; only DVD-RAM and DVD-R.

DVD-R discs are recommended for video recording and finalising in this model. (later model Panasonic DVD recorders allow RW disc recording).

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.

This model only has an analogue tuner so wont receive anything if the analogue signal in your area has been switched off. either buy a new new with a freeview tuner built in or just use that one in conjunction with a freeview box.

try cleaning the OPTICAL LENS directly with a Qtip , gently rub , try again , the code U61 means a self test procedure that the unit is running according to PANASONIC tech people, good luck , AJ

Found a firmware update for the DVD recorder. Helps improve recording

Your DVD recorder doesn't record DVD+RW DVDs

Only records:

DVD-RAM/-R/-RW/+R

Here is the manual for it

Check the tape transport unit. The transport mechanism may be out of the guides on either side. Once guide pins are put back into guides, unit will operate.

Hi,

You need to hook the VCR and the DVD recorder to the scart connections on your TV.

VCR to one scart on the TV
DVD recorder to the other scart on your TV

To record and veiw DVD movie at the same time connect the DMRE55 RCA cable output to DMREZ25 input 1 then the DMREZ output to yout TV input. Then on the DMREZ press input select and select IN1 to record from the E55.

DMR ES 10 does not record on R + disc . change to R - disc and try
