Panasonic DMR-HWT260GN Questions & Answers (page 5 of 9)
161 questions from our users
Have complained about this recorder before. Now it's decided to record non stop on Channel 10/13 shows & am unable to stop the recorder without taking wife's set recordings out also!
Panasonic did not contact when faults first happened. As a pensioner I cannot afford to go out & just buy a new unit when it plays up especially whilst this COVID-19 virus is killing off people.

Hey John,
when recording 2 programs and you press "STOP" button you should get window with option to chose which recording to stop.
If you are recording because you hit "Pause" button you are now re...

Hi got D-40 and now got D-80 On front of pvr what does it mean
Have a new 260gn with only one HDMI port am I able to connect my standard Foxtel box to record programs. Tried everything but can’t see a way.
Get a multi hdmi switching box. Run main hdmi to the 'in' on the switching box, then two hdmi's to your two devices. priced beween $10 - $40, Google it.
What is the best process for accessing Amazon Prime
Hi Michael, Amazon Prime isn't available on this product.
Is there no way to install the Primevideo APP ? What about Disney + ?
Why can't they be accessed via the web brouser ?
Got a HWT260. When playing back prerecorded programs, often there is no sound attached,if I briefly press Slow forward button on remote, sound comes on but at slightly faster speed. Have Bauhn TV and external Bauhn speakers connected. Anyone know what the problem could be? Cannot find anything useful in manual about this
Hi P, please contact our customer service team on 132600 for further assistance. Sorry we can't answer directly on here as we need to try some trouble shooting steps with you.
Is there any way to transfer video copied to a USB Drive to a PC ?
Hi George, no you are unable to do this. The USB is meant as a backup device to use on this product only.
How do I access programs copied to a USB (On my PC).
Not doable, if recorded on DMR-HWT260GN it can only be viewed on same unit. Poor but panasonic's way of avoiding copyright infringement I guess.
Totally Absolutely SUCKS.
Would Never have bought it if I knew that !
Hi George, sorry to hear you aren't happy about this. A USB is a back up device to be used only on this product.
DMR-HWT260 I want to record something every weekday afternoon...how? Thank you
read the instruction book ... tells all
No it doesn’t, hence the question.
Hi there, due to the panasonic DMR-BW780 not being able to view SBS World Movies nor Viceland, looks like i'll need to update to the newer HWT260GN.
Q: Panasonic, will the new DMR-HWT260GN view these channels correctly?
Q: Can i transfwer my movies easily from the old on eto the new one without going through the dreaded DVD-R?
Hi, I am wondering if the DMRHWT260GN will be fully functional with an old Panasonic
Plasma model TH-50PZ700A ? I currently have an older Panasonic twin tuner SD PVR and which has been awesome but would now like to view and record the new HD free to air channels using my old TV.
Hi Dexter, there will be no issues with the connection of the recorder to your TV as you can run it via HDMI.
Hi there, how do I watch SBS On Demand on my DMR-HWT260 ? If I click on a program it says there is no video available, then it says SBS On Demand is not available, try again later.
Thanks!
Back to basics, Make sure you have internet connection. If this not problem try switching unit off at power point and restart.
What types of usb hdds are compatible with my DMR-HWT 260 ?
Haven't found one that doesn't work but that's jus me, check manual.
I checked the manual.It says "Please use a recommended USB HDD. For the latest information on recommended USB HDDs, please check the following website http://panasonic.jp/support/cs/". Unfortunately, ...
Read moreif the information was there I could not find it. Thanks for your answer though. Based on your experience, almost any USB HDD that I buy will work.There is a maximum size if I remember right. 1Tb or less should be fine.
It's posable you may have to reformat the USB HHD but that's not hard to do with any computer.
How do I update the SBS streaming App on network?
Hi Ian, please contact our customer service team for assistance on 132600.
Hi...
Has anyone used the series recording function on this recorder.
can it be set from the guide or is it only from keyword.
Cheers
There is not a mute option. Surely we don't have to listen to ads.
use the mute option on your TV remote
Hi Izzy, the sound isn't controlled by the recorder, as mentioned above you will need to use the TV or your sound system remote.
Thank you. We have been doing that. We have been spoiled by having a Topfield PVR which more user friendly. We are getting used to the Panasonic .
My DMR-HWT260 won't play recorded videos. I was trying to fix it not accessing Netflix and now as soon as I press play on a recorded peogram it goes back to live TV.
not sure what you mean by 'recorded videos' ... did you record a TV program? call service centre, good luck. by the amount of questions I am getting re this device it is the load of crap machine I rev...
Read moreiewed when I first bought it I would never recommend it
when recording a tv show and then try to watch another channel, it won't let us. It comes up as 'no signal' We haven't had this issue before, any suggestions
you can't record 2 programs and watch a third channel at the same time... yes, I am furious about that as nowhere is this fact revealed until you unpack and set up the recorder and then read the small print!!
Hi Lee, it would be best to try to do a factory reset and see if that works. if it doesn't please call our customer service team on 132600.
All good now, turned it off at the main power point, waited 5 min and then turned it back on. Has been working properly since.
