Remote Vs. Player Problem Anyone know why my remote no matter what button I hit produces a "Set 1" message? Is it the remote's problem or the unit? I am stuck to using the front panel controls which were ay Sp mode when this problem occured. Can only record in 2 hr. increments and have lost all features obviously. I found a remote place that sells a replacement for $24.99....cheapest I found, but I don't want to get it if this is not the problem. Any help will be appreciated. Remote Vs.

I'm having the same problem. Do you know if you unplugged the unit while it was on? This happened with mine, and it is the only thing I can think of that happened to it. It still doesn't answer the question of whether replacing the remote will help, unfortunately.

I have a Panasonic DMR-EH55 that just had this problem. I used your fix and the remote works again. Thanks!

No...but it DID happen after residing in the couch for a couple of hours. But still..I ask....is the remote damaged or did it shoot some signal to the player damaging it? Intriging mystery. The remote replacement company states that in 1 in 3 remotes....if you take out the batteries, and punch EVERY button on it , then re-insert them, it can fix it. Let me know if this works for you. I must be that other 2 and 3. ;-)

I decided to call Panasonic tech support and ask. Unfortunately, I won't be able to try this myself for a day or so (out of town), but maybe you can give their suggestion a go: She said to hold down the "1" button and the "Enter" button at the same time for at least 10 seconds while pointing at the unit and that should reset the remote. ("Enter" being the round button between the arrows.) I asked what caused it, and she said "nothing you did." Funny. UPDATE: This worked! I now have a working remote. Woo hoo. Now I just have to figure out how to record something. I decided to call Panasonic tech support and ask.

Thank you SOOO much PK for posting this information. I have been trying to troubleshoot for hours & your advice fixed the problem! Yea!!

Holding down the "1" button and "Enter" button at the same time for at least 10 seconds while pointing at the unit worked for me today, 2 Mar 09 on my DMR-EH75V

Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

I have been having MAJOR problems getting the red 'rec' button to stop an in-process recording! Often, it doesn't stop at all, and I have to turn the unit off AS IT'S RECORDING!!! VERY ANNOYING.

I wish I could help but I bought mine brand new on Amazon about a year and a half ago. The unit is a nice one and I have not had any problems with it. It plays all formats and getting a 5 or 6 dvd changer that also has HD upscaling is getting pretty hard to find.Realistically, I cannot see ANYONE selling a dvd player WITHOUT a remote since it is almost useless without it.

Hi Eric, so far my remote is keeping itself together. My disappointment with the remote, and the heater itself, is that it doesn't remember how I had it set up. If I am in bed and wish to use the remote, I have to get out of bed to go to the machine and set it up again. I can't read the display from my bed! I am not enjoying this single button control on the heater--I am clicking and advancing and clicking for a long time before it is where I want it. I've never been able to do the correct clicking to engage the timer

Better would be for the remote to respond once to a single press! Seriously, I do not know how to answer your question as there is NO correct other reply!!Mine seems to work just as well as the OEM version (which doesn't always respond as it should either!).

I have not had this problem so I may not be of much help. However, did the sreen suddenly stop working? Do you get any sound? I assume you tried both the remote and the button controls on the top of the box. Do your voltages match? (Assuming you are in S. America and not Columbia, Tennessee, USA!)

Dear Sandeep, So sorry to hear that you are having an issue with the remote control. One thing that I'd like you to double check--there are four buttons near the top of the remote, labeled (Stereo, Cable/Sat,TV and CD). If any button other than the Stereo button has been pushed, many of the functions on the remote will not operate. See if pushing the Stereo button alleviates the issues you are having. If that does not solve the issue, let me know and we can look into warranty options for you. Did you purchase the unit from us? Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

I bought two units because I was told by a friend that the energy consumption is the same as a light bulb. Unfortunately the remote for my flat screen TV controls the ArcticPro along with the TV. Nobody has ever heard of this issue. I'm trying to figure out a way to block the remote signal from entering the units. I'll probably be abducted by aliens next week for changing the volume on their TV.

I turned off the motion activated setting (I think it's delivered with that setting on) and then set it to record at the maxium 15 min segment. It'll still talk every once and a while, but not nearly as often. After I set it up this way it basically just records continuously ( but it does say 'recording' if a new 15 min segment starts. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to simply turn off that annoying pointless voice that you can't even understand anyway. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your input== The unit died on me so back to the store. I never realized how inefficient these unit are-- I do a lot of recording to DVD-RW discs so this unit wont be of any help-- (I had just purchased another 50 DVD-RW discs)I forgot how much work there is in recording the old fashioned way with all the Start & end times-Ch # . With Fios's guide you only have one button to record for future events. I think I'll wait til they come out with a unit with a guide. Although it seems like these units are near the end and will be replaced soon. thanks again!

I hope this is the issue I'm having. I've already had the technician out last week to replace the main board for this problem. The remote seemed to have worked for 5 minutes, like you said, and literally as he was leaving my driveway I tried to change the source and the remote didn't work again! I was so frustrated, and thanks to you I will be geared up with this information so perhaps he can fix it this time!

The remote has a very limited range roughly 6 feet, and a very limited angle say 30 degrees. So the remote only works if you are sitting in front of the player and not more than 6 feet or so away from it. Then again, where else would you be? Any delay in the remote has more to do with you being too far away or too obtuse an angle from the TV. The buttons on the actual machine do have about a 1 second delay however.

I found a partial workaround solution for my problem (like yours) of the unit turning off a few seconds after turning it on. I press (and hold) the Stop button, and then the On button, and continue to press them both until the blue SA-CD light and the blue MultiChannel light go off, and then back on again. After that, the unit works ! Except that the LCD panel remains blank. Many (perhaps all) of the front panel buttons work. I still need to experiment to see if the remote works, and to what extent.Sony gave me the choice of a refurbished unit, or to repair mine, under warranty.

Darlene: You've probably already figured it out by now, but I'm going to post this reply for anyone else who may be having the same problem. While in DVD mode (the green light above "DVD" is lit up, push the "Rec Mode" button on your remote control. It is the button just to the left of the red "Record" button. Each time you press that a new record speed will appear on your screen. It cycles through each one and then goes back to the beginning and will even tell you how many minutes you have left on that disc to record with at that speed.

When you hit record the first time, it goes into flashing pause mode. Then you hit record again and it records. After that it stays recording until you hit stop. That's not a defective, that just shows you certain settings on the screen before you hit record the second time. Mine has been working great.

Happy Birthday, Joey. I don't know, I haven't had that problem with my player. Of course the turn it off and then back on is the first thing to try. Have you heard the songs played OK on your player yet ? Because something might have happened when they were transferred or in the recording itself. Otherwise maybe try different equalizer (EQ) settings.
