PANASONIC DMRPWT550 RECORDER

[@mouses41ss]

I have had mine for 6 years and it still works great today. I make sure it is keep dust free. Easy to set up and use. Just needs the occasional tune in every year or so

[@noeleenfalkner4557]

got this one too but the SOUND on the hardrive is low can you tell me how to get it up at all? I have done the left and right whatsits down the bottom of the remote but not difference at the moment recording manually as i only get just a few things on it

[@josephmullen3254]

Hi do you use dvds on it

[@coffeehouse44]

Thanks for the video - Picking up a Panasonic recorder for my mum and I was looking for a video I could fire over to her to have a look at dealing with it functions etc

[@marioncozens4631]

Very helpful much more complicated than my last Sony recorder that was brilliant expect I will get there in the end

[@MsCW1012]

Thank you for making this video. You calm and easy to understand/follow explanation was so so helpful to me. The video made sense of the handbook.

[@fanofretrotechnology3802]

Blu-ray recorders are awesome and way better than dvd recorders especially the types that probably have m-disc support

[@gary8397]

Thank you for the video makes it easier to use when I buy one.

[@brianmarshall4753]

I bought a Panasonic blu ray disc recorder 2016 it still works i recorded on freeview

[@themadhouseofwisdom7983]

The red TV button is not just for panasonic tv, it works with any TV so long as you configure it with the right code. A friend of mine has one identical and it works with his Sony TV, and later on with Logik

[@ivanchristie4492]

You are correct, I second that

[@Richard500]

Excellent! I only just picked one up yesterday and managed to install it without too much trouble, but this video cleared up any bits I had missed. Thanks....

[@pioneer2321]

Richard Bond how is the epg is it quite sluggish or is it fast.

[@seanclowry7689]

Perfect! - great video explaining the main features and much more. I’m off to buy this unit now!

[@elisabethmarrion3034]

Thank goodness somebody explained it at last !!!!! thank you

You're welcome!

[@grannysvids]

So can i use this with just a wifi connection or do i need an arial in the back ect....

I have an Australian-operated Panasonic HDD recorder model DMR-BWT955, as it will not recorded the Copy-Protected VHS program tape. But several tapes which is very valuable to me, so I want to know by instruction how to break it and enable to recorded it to HDD ?

[@sdbelfort]

I have a Panasonic Viera TV with that exact same interface for online content such as Netflix, KZbin and such, but it's from 2011 so I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the software installed on the TV so modern services work on it? Currently I can only use BBC Player

[@lords-electrical]

If it's over 10 years old then you won't be able to upgrade the software to modern standards. I would normally recommend just adding a firestick to it. That way it is a minimal cost but the user interface will always be up to date.

[@Matowix]

@@lords-electrical how do I get the KZbin app back on it. I did sn upgrade and it worked. There is no KZbin or Netflix apps in the marketplace now. Would a factory reset get KZbin app back

[@Matowix]

Doesn't the KZbin app work?

[@Matowix]

@@lords-electrical would a factory reset get me tje KZbin app back. And what's a fire stick. Thanks. Also would the upgrade have deleted the KZbin and other apps. The market place only has a few apps and they are crap

[@bobbydazzler1780]

Only comment is that all of the Apps on a Panasonic device will expire at some stage. So Netflix BBC Player etc etc are not guaranteed to last for years to come. My Panasonic TV has lost most of its Apps over the years. All a bit of a con to keep you upgrading. They call it inbuilt obsolescence. If the hardware lasts too long kill the software.

[@lords-electrical]

I agree, it is annoying when this happens and it is something that annoys our customers when Panasonic stop supporting the apps.

[@CA-kd3nk]

Do you have any instructions on how to use the DLNA function so we can watch recordings on a TV in another room via a wired home network please?

[@monkeyhanger1951]

Can you do a video on how to pair the remote control on it to your TV (mine being a Tevion) not smart TV.

[@Richnsoul]

Many thanks very useful.

[@MissPernickety]

Your comments about the TV buttons are incorrect. You can operate any TV using those buttons, but you have to programme the remote to operate them using a code. Unfortunately I cannot remember for the life of me how to do that. I have one recorder in the lounge and operate my Toshiba TV with the remote. I have another in the bedroom but can't recall how to programme it to operate my Samsung. If any one knows please let me know.

[@noeleenfalkner4557]

Thanks got the DVD machine but not on Panasonic TV how do i get the sound higher on the hard drive as the tv is way too high but when the hard drive i have recorded Midsummer Murders the sound is way down can i fix this please many thanks

[@shelliedrysdale4088]

my model is a little different. I used to be able to watch the internet channels (7plus, 9now, 10play etc) by pressing the red button. for some reason this feature has suddenly disappeared... why would this be? how can I get it back. I hav checked and it is still connected to the internet.

[@susanbird163]

I have a panasonic dvd recorder. It has been fine up to now but suddenly I want to watch something I have recorded and it wont play. It says play in the top right hand corner but it wont appear on the screen. Can you help me please.

[@lords-electrical]

Not too sure, but have you tried to retune it first? Sometimes if it needs retuning or even the aerial lead has fallen out then it may just record a blank screen

[@gabrielmiller9854]

Does it modulate to analog from the antenna output like a vcr? Mostly because I wanna connect it to my old tube TV from the antenna and not a hdmi to composite downscaler

[@mangreat71]

Can it record movies if you can put a blank dvd in it.Can it record music on a blank cd if you put a blank cd in it ??

[@lords-electrical]

On this model it is only playback on the dvd side, you can record on the hard drive though. If you wanted to record on the dvd, then look for an alternative model DMREX97.

[@fanofretrotechnology3802]

Just make sure to use a dp or hdmi supported video displayer

[@hiltonbarr85]

How do you disable Shop Mode Have been enjoying the DMR-PWT540 for a few years but today it went into Shop Mode and all the colours are saturated. Please how can I change it back to Normal Mode?

[@lords-electrical]

You will more than likely have to reset it up. Put it into shipping condition, then when you set it up, select Home mode rather than Shop mode

[@hiltonbarr85]

@@lords-electrical Yes thanks for that. Actually after tinkering around some more I think the problem has come from my Sony TV. After doing a factory reset on that including selecting Home Mode the problem has been reduced.

[@monkeyhanger1951]

Is it possible to re-tune without losing all your recorded programmes?

[@lords-electrical]

Yes if you do a retune then you won't lose any of your programs to be recorded or any that have previously been recorded

[@MrSparoga]

To whom it may concern, I own the DMR EX83 Panasonic Recorder and I am very satisfied with it. However, I would like to discover and to learn how to merge two recorded "titles" into one "title". Every time I record a show from TV onto HDD, I can find it in Direct Navigator as "the new title" and I can share it (divide title) or delete certain parts of it (partial delete), however, I cannot seem to find a way to merge two recorded titles into one in Direct Navigator. I would kindly ask you to advise me on how to do this, Thank you in advance and kind regards

[@davidforrester6333]

How .much his this blueray recorders the price

[@lords-electrical]

It does vary but at the moment it is £549 for the DMRBWT850

[@fanofretrotechnology3802]

Can that blu-ray recorder remote control a panasonic tv completely?

[@lords-electrical]

You can control some of the basic functions but nothing that would involve going into the menus.

[@loissullivan149]

I have a model DMR PWT 560, Looking for help to fix this problem if I can

[@sdbelfort]

I don't know why but both of my grandparents have one of these Panasonic recorders. They seem alright, but as someone with a BT Recording set-top box they seem kind of pointless to me.

[@josephmullen3254]

Hi do you connect it with a hdmi only

[@lords-electrical]

The hdmi connection will link the tv and recorder to display what is on the recorder, but you will normally need an aerial rf lead between the 2 as well if you want a freeview signal as well.

[@josephmullen3254]

@@lords-electrical thanks very much, I see a free view box connections are two one for satellite TV and other Irish tv plug in aswell

[@patrickparker8417]

My Panasonic freeview dvd recorder has 2 scart sockets on it , i got one from ebay to replace my older one , the problem with it is the volume on the tv is not working although it works on the dvd , it was fine on my old one but the dvd wasnt working hence getting this one , any ideas ? Thanks .

[@lords-electrical]

Not too sure to be honest but it could be the scart lead thats faulty or one of the pins is snapped off in the scart lead which can cause this to happen.

[@SuperPatrick777]

@@lords-electrical Well I assume all scart lead sockets are the same , so unless the female side of it on the newer unit is damaged ( and that's highly unlikely ) as it does work fine on the older model in which the dvd is not working anyway I'm sending it back to ebay , thanks for replying.

[@loissullivan149]

Having a problem with my Panasonic Recorder, can you help me please

[@jupooh62]

Do you have plug in an external aerial or can you receive freeview through the Ethernet port ??

[@lords-electrical]

You would need to connect this recorder up to an external aerial to get a freeview signal to the machine

[@mdk9000]

@@lords-electrical Can I just check...do you connect your aerial cable to the Freeview/blu ray player and then transmit video via HDMI to your TV? Or do you have to connect another aerial lead from the player to the TV?

[@Tupelokid11]

Hi. I commented on this video 2 months ago and finally purchased one today but I wonder if you can help me? When I click on scheduled recording on WebOs on my LG TV I get a message saying “ please connect a USB storage to your TV for recording. I presumed the new Panasonic would be “that” dotage. Thanks Gary

[@tallowmangaa7884]

How do I transfer the recorded programs to USB?

[@anthonycosgrove4795]

This player hasn’t got a open and close button for the disc tray on the remote.

[@lords-electrical]

Correct, they got rid of the open and close button years ago as customers had them in cabinets and when the drawer was opened accidently with the remote it would damage the drawer.

The worst has happened, all my recorded titles have disappeared! When I try to record something new, it says "HDD too full" which makes me think they're still there. The recording time left is at 0.00. I happy to delete a couple of files but I can't see anything. What do I do?

[@joaodasilva8008]

So not RCA inputs or at least HDMI input? so i can't record my old VHS videos on this machine

On this model you cannot record on the disc, you can only record onto the hard drive. The disc is used only to playback either DVD or Blu-Ray discs.

[@michaelryding8737]

Why Panasonic has a lock on its recording format , all ur Panasonic recordings can only be played on Panasonic, to play foreign recordings, forget it Now I’m stuck with it. Panasonic should be upfront with this restriction.....

simple question; I only have sky and bt via sky, i imagine this unit is useless for recording programmes on said platform.....please can the poster inofrm.

yes this unit would only be any good for recording freeview programmes. You can't record sky onto this .

There may be an issue with the lens in the machine. First of all try a dvd cleaner which could try and remove any dust on the lens, but if not then it may need an engineer to look at it.
