I have a DVD recorder DMR-EX77 I can record the digital tv channels but not the analogue ch.when I try to tune the analogue ch I just get No Signal message The connection are as per page 15 of the instruction manual one through a video then to the analogue TV the video and tv are panasonics.

On the EPG (of the DMRs channels) press OK on the remote at the program you want to record. After that you can choose HDD or DVD-RAM and the quality Ep-Xp and possible subtitles (STTL). Press OK and the recording settings are saved. Note that to record 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio, you have to have that setting made from setup.

could be its not digital, so it will not pick up any channels as they are now all digital not terestrial through the aerial like the y used to be. you need a digi box now to plug the recorder into

It is not possible to tune in 7two, channel 11, GO! or similar digital channels with this model DVD recorder, as its tuner would most likely be analogue only. You would either need to upgrade to a model with a digital tuner built in, or purchase an external set top box, capable of SD and HD digital reception, and connect its AV outputs to the respective inputs of the recorder, in order to record the channels you want.

However, being in OZ, those digital channels are available as free to air - all you would need is the appropriate receiver to enjoy them. I recommend a set top box which offers HD as well as SD.

Sounds like the inbuilt ATSC tuner has failed; if this is analogue only, it may not be worth repairing that. If however it is a digital tuner, it may not be economical nor cheap to replace at component level. It is up to you, if you want to submit this unit to an authorised Panasonic service centre, to get a quote and second opinion about it. At least then you could make a firm decision afterwards.

The DMR-EZ27K was a reasonable model Panasonic DVD recorder, and it's better than their DMR-ES15V.

Nice unit. The cheapest option I can suggest would be if it is an analogue tuner model, simply connect an external digital set top box to the respective inputs on the unit and record the TV that way (assuming the channels are not encrypted with macrovision). It's crude, but it will save you an expensive workshop hassle.

> digi box (?)
Is this digital converter?
Your new TV doesn't need it but it could well work with your DVR. It wouldn't give you the benefit of HD recording but with it, you could convert the digital signal into analog and record the results.

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.

Our DVD recorder DMR-EH57 is recording but not able to show its video
recording to the LCD what is the problem.

Hi,

It sounds as if the actual T/V channel is out of tune.
I,d suggest powering the player On.
Then using channel 8-12 on the T/V to Scan for its frequency.
When you,ve located it to the Player.
Lock the channel, then use the DVD on Channel 8-12.

Mike @ compurepair.

p.s also check the output from DVD To T/V lead has,nt come loose.

This could be a couple of problems. I'm not trying to make you feel dumb or anything but sometimes people miss the obvious. Do you have an universal remote? How is your vct wired to your tv? Does your cable go to your vct or your tv first? These sound like silly questions but they are important.
