In order to emergency eject a DVD when 'SLF CHECK' is indicated on the display window, switch off the unit by pressing the power push button for 10", the simultaneously push CHANNEL UP and STOP push button for 10".

Bob. The reason your Panasonic combo recorder recently failed is due to two defective capacitors on the unit's internal power-supply board. The unit can easily be restored back to fully operation condition yourself in under 20 minutes and costs between $1.59 and $5.00 for the replacement capacitor(s) available at your local Radio Shack.

The combo repair guide I've written is available to anyone who needs it simply upon request and doesn't require any previous knowledge or experience with electronics. Just send an email to my public address provided below. Please include your brand and model followed by "repair brief" in the SUBJECT line. For example, "Panasonic DMR-ES30V repair brief" and I'll send it using my private ISP address as soon as possible. Please email your request to mikeadams110@yahoo.com
