Panasonic DVDS35 DVD RAM player will not load disk lets fix it

Finially fixed my old Panasonic DVD player that plays DVD-RAM disks.

I need to thank you for this. It helped me fixing a Panasonic dvd-rv32. It took me a long time to figure it out though. When you solder the pcb back, you need to push that switch underneath the components that hold the pickup unit. It can be tested with a multimeter. When rolling the gears to move the pickup up and down, continuity should come and go. If there is no continuity at any height, the switch is misplaced.

Super interesting, not only from the point of view that I didn't know you could even take apart a Loader. But also that it had switches you could service inside. Your knowledge and experience with gear that wasn't only one brand is very impressive. And valuable.

Hello, my friend! Thank you for this video! Watched your video and repaired my Panasonic DVDS35. Three times I tried to repair it, lay for many years. I cleaned the switches and put them on the marks and, lo and behold, it worked like a new one !!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!👍👍👍👋👋👋

[@carlk6919]

Un grand merci de France. Fortunately, cleaning the first switch was enough.Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I like this player very much because it makes it possible to manage the vertical position of the subtitles.

What a shame that the dvd ram didnt become the dvd standard. It is also a shame that the cartridge was not part of the dvd standard, less disks damaged by crud or light. Never seen a rotational sensor on any recorder. But the boomerang switch was a bugger on toshiba pc readers.

Panasonic tried. Every dvd recorder they made supported it. It really was a superb recording format. As I have demonstrated in the past can read and write simultaneously, delete data in middle of disk and that space becomes usable. Just like a hard disk.

Dave I have this model i bought for $20 bucks US with remote works perfectly. Good info in case of issues

[@12voltvids]

That's a great find. Great player especially if you have dvd ram disks as most will not play them.

[@Voguebolle]

Great thanks for your help. With this video my Panasonic works fine now.

[@MetalGreggNY75]

Look at Dave….kicking out the Al Di Meola!!

[@olledahlquist3784]

I'm so impressed seeing you repairing all those different machines. I just wished you'd lived in Sweden so that you could help me with my not-so-good working cassette decks, reel-to-reel recoders and other stuff. Even if I am an old sound engineer I don't know anything about repairing the stuff. I have tried but all those screws that are left over proves that that is not for me to try anymore. ;-)

[@computerservicenow7182]

The ol' tarnished contacts on the load tray switch problem...hmm, had forgotten that one as I haven't seen 1 of those for repair in over a decade, however, I do own 5 Panacronics with the same mech n that jogged a few brain cells.

[@mryamaha100]

yes Dave love the PANASONIC DMRE E20

[@markmarkofkane8167]

Interesting about DVD RAM. I didn't know what they were until yesterday.

[@12voltvids]

DVD RAM is very cool. Record and play at same time.

[@akepatinagaraju8564]

Excellent job sir

24:14 I have that concert on VHS The day was July 30 2003

[@12voltvids]

That sounds about right. If I put the disk in a recorder it would show the date. This shows how long optical media lasts. For the naysayers that say optical media is only good 5 years. Bullcrap. It lasts much longer than that.

[@enricoself2256]

This player (like one of my Panasonic DVD player) uses a single motor for sledge motion and opening/closing the disc drawer. Clever, but before opening the drawer it needs to reposition the pick-up close to centre. Not particularly silent too...

[@12voltvids]

Toshiba DVD recorders do the same. No belts to slip.

[@madpom2]

Sorry just trying to find out about Le Chateau wear made in Canada is it good stuff?

[@jamestom2510]

I have a JVC small home hifi with a iPod dock at the bottom that I bought but didn’t realise its gen 2 dock wasn’t working, I’ve removed the circuit board and found the dock port damaged but no one in Australia has parts, does the US have a parts supplier I could contact? The part number is GVA10161-A1?

[@andrewvid213]

I think you mentioned this in one of your other videos, but why are the jumpers needed for the laser pickup diodes when disconnecting the optical block? Is it to prevent ESD on the laser diodes?

[@12voltvids]

Yes to prevent ESD on laser diode. Laser diode is one of the most sensitive devices to esd you will find. Without even touching the device a charge can build up on the lead to the diode and potentially pop it. This is why all new blocks were shorted, placed in a conductive moulded plastic clamshell box and that was placed inside conductive bag. 3 levels of protection to protect during transport.

i have a Panasonic DMR-ES15 dvd recorder that i bought from goodwill it played disc fine but as soon as i recorded on it after a few mins it said disc error and now it won't even play a dvd anymore. i tried cleaning the lens but that made no difference. i don't know what else i can do i also tried doing a factory reset.

[@chrissanders2562]

I have a 1985 Panasonic AG1000 vhs player that seems to drop frames every so often like it jumps a frame backwards. Any idea what that would be i replaced the head drum but it did that before.

[@gabrieleorioli1760]

VHS is an analog format. If you see a stuttering, juddering back and forth image, the fault could lie in your modern tv set and not in the VCR. Check the condition of the tape on other players connected to analog TVs.

[@chrissanders2562]

@@gabrieleorioli1760 thanks for your input. I havent tried that but it seems to do it with any tape and my other players dont. I will try it on an analog tv and see if it does it. Thanks again 😀
