Hi, everyone. I've been having a problem with my Panasonic E55 DVD-Recorder for a while now, and I was wondering if someone could help.
I bought it on November 1st, so it's still under the 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
Chronology of Problems:
Recorded a disc (on EP mode) with one hour remaining, tried to finalize, received "Finalizing Failed" message - December 20th
Recorded a disc (on EP mode) with 20 minutes remaining; returned home, turned on the DVD-Recorder to find: REMAIN: 0:00 (when I know I had at least 20 minutes left); tried to finalize, received "Finalizing Failed" error (without it even trying to finalize). I re-tried it, it claims it finalized, however the disc will not work in my standard DVD Player. - February 18th [this "REMAIN: 0:00" has happened at least twice since then]
Recorded another disc (same speed) and it was in the middle of a program, when it stopped to perform a "SELF-CHECK", then the recorded turned off and never came back on. - February 25th
I have no idea what's going on, and I've got absolutely no idea how to fix it. I'm very tempted to take it back and try to get another with a HD. Has anyone else experienced something like this before?
Please help; I'd really like to know how to proceed from here...
