Panasonic DMR-BWT955GL Questions & Answers

I am finding the recorder is recording double ups. You can't delete the 2nd one. Also when select record single time from the guide it is recording series.
I have used these machines for years, never had so many glitches. Please help.

If i do a factory reset do i loose all my settings and storage

Our recorder started jumping around slightly recently. We have show we have recorded for our daughter (kids TV) and we edit out the adverts. We noticed about a month ago, that playing these editted shows, it would skip a couple of seconds each side of the edit.
Then tonight, the image froze, the audio continued for a bit, and then then the whole thing locked up.Using the remote, and turning it off, it became stuck in 'Please Wait' and so we reset it at the wall for a minute.
Plugging it back in, it has once again gotten stuck in the 'Please Wait'
Looking for assistance on how to resolve if possible.
Thank you.

Hi I have a Panasonic DMR-BWT955 and it has no sound or picture output what so ever. It seems to be doing everything else ok, recording playing dvd etc but no vision. I have tried several HDMI cables.
It has AV on the units display screen. It has had a week signal pixilating on and off watching TV if we stomped on the floor next to the unit it would clear up.. Any ideas? Rob. After some more time on this problem I have discovered its not the Blue Ray that's the problem its my Panasonic TH-P50VT20A TV, none of the 4 HDMI ports are working...

Hi my panisonic recorder l only hear the sound when l push the 1x3 button whys that

I have had no problem with this unit until a few weeks ago the unit decided it was no longer going to play purchased blu ray discs, all other discs work including bd-r so I'm wondering why all genuine release blurays have ceased to work in my DMR BWT955gl, genuine release dvds work, bluray recordable discs work, cds work. What happens is the unit goes to read the the gen released movie, displays HIGH CLARITY SOUND strolls across the units display and returns to tv without any messages! Is this a disc drive failure or a HD processor failure? I hope someone can and has had this issue rectified, Cheers.

My dmr-bwt955 will not play my box set of laurel & hardy dvds. It says, they cannot be played in your region.

This unit is only a few months old and it's taken it upon itself to start doing everything out of order without any warning, if I could take it back too factory reset it may help but can't even find that.
Surely it has something like that built in to the unit..
Help Please !

How do I do a factory reset

Is there a way to stop the unit automatically turning off when the tv turns off. We had a topfield and if tv was off, when we turned it back on, we could rewind the current channel it was on. Can this unit do the same?

How do I reset the remote

Hi, we’ve just bought. BWT955 and it will only let me series record on certain stations. Is this something I’m doing wrong or is it a difference in broadcaster settings? Appreciate any help here greatly.

My DMS BTW 995 no longer shows latest releases from SBS on demand due to some encryption / licencing changes @ SBS. is Panasonic resolving the problem? Its causing a significant downgrade the machines advertised capabilities.

When I play bluray movies I can’t get sound

This is my second Panasonic DVD with
hard drive I've purchased and both have had the same problem. My newest is a blueray with a 2tb hard drive. The sound has gone on both of them. What is the problem with them, is it a sound card issue. Thank you Sharon

Hi, how do I copy my VHS tapes from my VHS Panasonic NV-SD230 player on to a disc using my Panasonic DMR-BWT955GL recorder??

Is the Bluray 4K or does it just upscale a 4K movie
