TEAC HDB 850 regularly "looses" favourites that I have indicated! Any suggestions (I'ts out of Warranty Genevieve

Panasonic DMR-EX79 purchased 2009. Repair cost for DVD section $319. The problem is that the hard disk drive still functions for recording and playing.......but can't be burned to DVDs. Is it possible to copy the recorded files in any other way? Incidentally what format are the files on the HDD. Received lots of helpful information from this forum previously...am hopeful for the same again Genevieve

Could DV recording be circumvented (i.e. use XP, LP, EP) if an alternate connection to the HDMI connection was used??

Just wondering if DMR-XW380 can record Closed Captions and burn to DVD disc Thanks Gen

NAH! (Ever try watch "The Wire" without Cc ?? Gen

I am trying to connect a SD set top box to record to a SD PVR. The reason?....to be able to record the closed captions Equipment: TV:Philips 21PT4320 (CRT) SD DVD Recorder: Panasonic DMR-EX79 Set Top Box: Topfield TF 4000T Is this is a possibility..........? Thanks Gen

What is "DR Mode" .......and can they be viewed if burned to a DVD??? Ta Gen

Does this model record closed captions for later viewing? Thanks Gen

I currently use a Panasonic DMR EH50.I am investigating upgrading to a HD PVR/DVR. I find the Pana quite easy to use for editing ads etc. I recently tried to help a friend edit a commercial movie recorded on a LG ( not sure which model) and was not impressed. The vertical lines on the LG only indicated scene changes..very confusing. Could other wise forum members give me an indication of the ease of editing on other current models? Thank you Gen

Have you given up on me and my problem?? Haven"t heard from you since my email to you...............you did receive it?? Cheers Gen

This is the reply I received from Panasonic : "You will be able to record from any STB product along as the output from the STB is connected to a AV input on the DVD-Recorder." Gen

*** SP/DIF is now connected from STB to Amplifier Thanks for your help again!! Keep up the good work. Cheers Gen

Thanks for the suggestions, Peter. The only TV alternatives I have are AV!, AV2, Component, S-Video, and, on the front of the TV audio/video playback

"Now try playing a DVD and see if you can get a picture and sound (you will need to select the correct AV input on your TV). Once that is done, you know the connection is OK." THIS WORKED FINE (even had sound throught the amplifier) Have attached SCART> SCART and component cables I have another input on the Philips TV... (red , White and yellow)on the side, and the "book" tells me it is for "more convenient direct playback connections for quick and easy connections fro Camcorder tape recordings" Also on the Panasonic I have an AV3 connection of the front and an AV4 on the back. Should I play around with these as I am still unable to record on the Panasonic Your are being very patient with all this and I am very grateful Thanks again Gen

Speaking with my TV antennae man recently he mentioned that in about three months the Sprinkbrook transmitter will be "mirroring" Mt Nardi. Does anyone know any more about this? Thanks Gen
