Left on DVD Too long ? sad mistake ?


Hello ,

I did a silly thing I have my cable TV connected to the dvd player-recorder[ a panasonic] and I left it on for months . I was not using it but it was on . I went to put a dvd in just now and it did not respond to the open or close command to put the dvd in . I was able to turn it off by the remote and hope it will cool off or mend the problem .
It didn't feel very hot, I really hope I didn't burn anything out .

I would very much appreciate any suggestions .

Boy that sound hopeful, but there is a message that comes on " please wait " when I turn it on, and it doesn't change ..... I press open to put in a dvd ,,, no responce . The unit worked perfectly a some month ago and is hardly used .

I disconnected it for a half hour and no change . It says " please wait " as soon I plug it in. It does not respond to change settings buttons or any thing . Panasonic DRM-E85H .

My Panasonic DVD Recorder is set to shut off after 6 hours unattended. In the set up menu different choices of shut off time are given.
Check your owners manual for trouble shooting....

Are you sure it didn't get zapped by lightning from your CATV?
