Hi everyone

I have a panasonic DMR EH50 dvd recorder,when powered up the display reads hello,then
after about half a minute it says bye,then hello again followed by the words "hdd testing av1"
and thats as far as it gets,also ive got no on screen display on the television present,i tried
another brand new hard disk of the same type 80gb which a friend formatted for me,i put
this into the panasonic and powered up,this time the display read "hdd set ng" so i left the
machine on for several hours and there was no change whatsoever,please could someone
advise me because its now doing my head in!!!!
