Panasonic All-in-One - need some help please
Hello,
My first post here and I'm hoping you chaps can throw some light on an issue I have. I have a Panasonic DMR-EX95V all-in-one DVD/Video/HDD unit which has worked well for some years now. Recently, I attempted to turn it on one morning using the remote and the display briefly showed me the following:- E - T - L Before then switching off with only the letters [color=#FF0000]EXT-L[/color] in RED on the display, just above and to the right of where the time shows. I have searched far and wide for an idea of what this error is and how it might be solved. If anyone here can throw some light on this, I would be really grateful. Thank you, Regards, Lee James West Sussex UK |

It's not an error (except maybe on your part
).Ext L means External link. Which means it's sitting there waiting for a device attached to AV2 SCART to tell it to begin recording. And if you don't have anything on AV2 it will obviously be waiting for a while ![]() You've probably pressed the Ext Link button on the remote by accident. So try pressing it again. |

So try pressing it again. ![]() I have been sweating for weeks on how to solve this! I am so glad I did not go out and spend £400 on a new device, but found my way here! I just tried your solution and indeed my wife remembers inadvertently pressing "something" but not what it was she pressed! I hit the External Link button again and it now works fine. I just assumed it was an error message as it was in RED. Sir, if you are ever down this way, drop me a note - I owe you a beer or three! Many thanks for your kind help, Regards, Lee James West Sussex UK |

![]() Oh and I hope the Mrs doesn't read DS. She might withdraw your marital privileges if she sees you blaming her for the problem... ![]()

Hello Chris, Quote:
I'm surprised you didn't twig the connection between Ext L in the display and the Ext Link button on the remote. I only use the unit to move saved SKY recordings onto it and then onto DVD-RAM disk for editing to keep for personal use. Occasionally, it gets used for playing DVDs. So I did not really notice the EXT L button. Again, with the message being in RED, I assumed it was a player error message.
