Panasonic DMR-E55K Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/Player , Black
Serious Problem In Month Nine of Ownership/Use
In the ninth month of owning and using this model, suddenly the picture pops on and off. <br /> <br />I use the Y-R1-R2 cable into my HD television. <br /> <br />You'll be watching, and the picture goes on, off, on, off, on, off.   <br /> <br />If I use the component cable (Yellow RCA with the red and white sound cables), it doesn't do it. <br /> <br />The problem must have to do with the HD-Out area. <br /> <br />I've checked the HD cable, using another DVD player.  No problem.   <br /> <br />Here's the kicker.  The Panasonic authorized repair shop says there's nothing wrong. <br /> <br />Come again? <br /> <br />The shop says they couldn't find anything wrong.   <br /> <br />So, I brought it home, hooked it back up, and had the same problem within 30 seconds. <br /> <br />Stay away from this model.  There is a significant problem, and not only won't they fix it, they don't acknowledge it exists.
