Does anyone know how to pause live tv on panny dmr 78The manual says just press pause while watching tv but when i do this nothing happens?any advise please.

From the online manual:



Sounds confusing,try it and let us know,if it works.

Thank you TV DUNIYA I have the manual and followed those instructions exactly and nothing happened

It is a viera link function

You need to be linked by viera link for it to work.


However, it is a silly system with many restriction which does not work very well or very reliably.

It uses the TV's tuner, not the DVDR's, so you cannot turn away from the channel you are watching, or turn the TV set off without losing the recording.

Also the recording is auto erased and not available for archiving if you decide you wish to keep it.

Far better using the 'Chase live TV' function.

That uses the DVDR's tuner, frees up the TV , and the recording is saved like any other.

Gavetech,thanks for the reply,I have a blu ray dvd attached via the the Viera link and using this only activates the blu ray player not the pvr.Sounds like I should forget about the use of pause live tv sounds like a bit of a gimic anyway.Thanks again for the info Regards David
