Panasonic DMR-EX83 not writing to DVD disc.
I can't understand why, but when the HDD gets reasonably full, this machine won't write to DVD discs. It goes through the motion, i.e. if I try to copy a 1 hour movie from HDD -> DVD in say XP mode, it plays the film for an hour, but then fails to write to the disc – sometimes it gives the "there may be scratches" error. It won't even format discs when the HDD is quite full.
If I clear out space on the HDD then it seems to work ok. Does anyone know why, and more importantly how I can fix this? I've tried cleaning the dust particles off the ring that grips the discs to no avail. Thanks |

ToneBone.
The HDD could be needing space to buffer or something like that ---- I don't know how the copying process works. It does sound like a DVD drive problem --- you could try cleaning the laser -- as the longer the writing process the further out from the centre of the disc the laser has to write. Not the same machine but there is a repair manual here which makes interesting reading. http://www.scribd.com/doc/117861374/...-DMR-EX75-EX85 Regards |

Thanks oscar1 - I thought it might be using a buffer.
I've found the service manual for the EX83 - I'll have a read! |
