Question about Panasonic DMR-EH75VS DVD Recorder/VCR/HDD Recorder

Not recognizing DVD player

Inserted blank dvd-r for recording; on-screen message said something like "disk is damaged; try to repair it?" Followed prompts; EH75V shut down. Now, EH75V appears to not recognize DVD player; won’t play any discs. Now, exactly 6 beeps occur when closing empty disk tray & when inserting dvd (message: “cannot read, please check disc” w/enter symbol, which doesn’t respond & quickly leaves). When trying to copy on EH75V, message is “Cannot copy Possible reasons are: non-recordable disc, finalized (closed) disc, damaged disc. etc.; none apply. Many DVDs tried. When on player drive, upper-left corner display no longer shows any drive name in top bar; can’t go to submenu; doesn’t respond to play button.Part I Inserted blank dvd-r for recording; on-screen message said something like "disk is damaged; try to repair it?"

I have the EH75 also and just had the same problem with the DVD not recognizing any DVD and making the 6 beeps. Tried cleaning with a DVD disc cleaner, even opened up the case and the DVD component, cleaned with a can of air, reassembled, but still the same problem.

same as described - Panasonic offers repair for $139 - I wonder if in fact this is a problem typical to the unit after a certain amount of usage.

You can try downloading free players onto your computer as long as your computer has installed DVD drive, such as Leawo Blu-ray Player, RealPlayer, 5KPlayer, etc.

I would say for some reason your dvd player is not compatible from now on with that brand of blank dvd!

get the firmware update from the brand website all you do is download the file burnit on a cd and put it in the dvd player should fix most and eventual problems
