I have owned a number of examples of this model for some years, and keep buying more as mine give up working!
It seems there is an inherent problem with the actual model. . . . . can anyone tell the cure, please?
I always record on Panasonic RAM disks and have purchased new ones to try those, but I finish up with the same problem each time in due course, and when it starts giving me the problem, I know that the "end is near" for the machine!
It is set up in the normal way each time to time shift, but I come back to it to find it has locked out, and has not recorded at all. I am very familiar with the recording procedure after all this time, so I know it is not my fault.
Is there a firmware upgrade at all? I was given this link, but it does not work! http://redirectingat.com/?id=49X85&url=http%3A//www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/st ores/servlet/vDownloads%3FstoreId%3D15001%26langId%3D-1%26page%3DDVDFirmware
I use three identical DMR-E50 machines continually to monitor programmes, and cannot afford dropouts!
Can anyone help please? |

The Panasonic recorders are famous for discs slipping because the spindles need cleaned. Open the recorders and clean the rubber on the spindle the disc sits on with a q-tip wet with alcohol. I always clean the upper part that sits on the top of the disc too. |
