Panasonic dvd recorder dmr-ex75 + error code U99 query My dvd recorder (2yrs old) comes up with a U99 error code when powered up. The troubleshooting booklet says to turn the power off, wait and then power up again. All this achieves is the same error code coming up each time. Not sure if it is worth having it repaired, or just cut my losses and purchase a replacement. What do you think?

A U99 error code signifies a general communications failure and is not associated with any specific problem. It could even be related to the firmware version of your DVD recorder.

Try turning off the power and unplugging off-unplug for at least five minutes before reconnecting.

If U99 reoccurs, you should contact the Global Service Center Network for assistance.

Good luck!

Have you tried re-tunning the dvd?

Hi,

To my knowledge and on most Panasonic UK/Euro models/versions, error code "U81" indicates glitch in the firmware, specifically, on its initial diagnostic mode, the system could not detect "Freeview" signals. The concern might have been caused by the absence of an incoming TV signal. Should this hold true, I then suspect that there is nothing wrong with the Panasonic unit but rather the Freeview service in your location or configuration/settings of the provider signals or the tuner.


Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
