just installed this unit, works OK but no colour - all black & white
I’ve been having trouble with my recorder recently and I’m not sure why. It’s always worked fine. It seems now that it will only successfully record bbc1 or ITV1. It won’t record other channels (E4, bbc2, 5USA etc). I’ve rescanned the recorder and the TV (also Panasonic) and I have also unplugged the recorder but no change. I’m not sure why it’s doing this as it’s always worked fine. Do you think I need to buy a new one?
The clock on the display has stopped showing when the machine is both on playback and on standby. How do I get this back?
After working OK for some years the recorder has started switching itself on and off at intervals( on the recorder displaying BBC1). No programs are recorded when this happens. Recordings which are preprogrammed record ok.
Pressing the Direct Navigator button does nothing - so I can't access recordings.
Any advice, please ?
the remote talks to the recorder, but not to the tv (Hitachi). non of the codes given for Hitachi tvs seem to work.
For no particular reason suddenly the DIRECT NAVIGATION and FUNCTION MENU modes do not operate, all other functions are as normal. Can access Function menu via SETUP and can set Timer Recordings via te GUIDE (All these work correctly) but NO access to the Navigation menu (ie: stored - largely unwatched - programmes) Turning off/on very briefly (less that 1 sec) displays the NAV menu but then goes to blank screen. Any suggestions. (A highly frustrated user)
Neither the GUIDE button nor the PROG/CHK button on the Remote Control work. All other functions seem to be OK.
Timed recording is inhibited when playback is in use. Recording begins when playback stops before the set stop time.
Easy Network Setting (Home Network Connection Check)
Completed.
1.Wireless setting :Pass
2.IP address setting :Home network available
3.Connection to gateway :Fail
What do you suggest.

Solution 1: It can be extremely frustrating when this happens. Most of the time, there isn't much you can do other than turn it off and then on again, at the mains if the power button isn't responding.
However, there are a few things you can check to help prevent it in the future. Number one is check how hot it is. Freezing can happen when the unit isn't properly ventilated or is in a hot place. Make sure all the vents are uncovered and there is nothing on top of it.
You might also want to check for system updates.
Finally, you might consider turning the unit off and then on again regularly to reboot it. Freezing often occurs when it has been running for a long time, so once a week or so you could try to reboot it by switching it off and on. If you don't want to do this yourself, you might consider buying a timer switch to do this for you at a time you know you won't be using the machine, e.g. 4AM.

Solution 1: Recordings fail for a number of reasons. If you schedule the recording and it records - but records the wrong thing - the box might be tuned to two different regions. Reset the channels and manually tune them if you suspect this to be the case.
If the unit is on a series record but has missed the programme, check the programme guide to see if future episodes are being recorded. It may have identified the programme as a different series for some reason, so set a series link on any future episodes that are not being recorded.
Other failed recordings can show a problem with the unit. One or two failed recordings do not necessarily mean that your unit has a fault - it could be due to a power cut or your box could have (unluckily!) frozen or crashed prior to the start of the programme.
However, if there are numerous failed recordings and it continues to occur even though you can watch TV OK, it sounds like a problem with the hard disk and this will need to be either repaired or replaced.
