Panasonic DVD recorder passthrough settings (DMR-ES10, DMR-ES15, DMR-ES25)

[flavio92]

Hi, I have a Blaupunkt RTV-925 EGC and the Panasonic DVD Recorder DMR-ES10. I want to pass my movies on pc and I'm going to buy a Canopus 110 and a firewire board for my pc. Does the DMR-ES10 fix the macrovision problem?

No.

Hello, I'm currently ripping my family recordings and I'm encountering a problem - some of my tapes are physically damaged at some points (you can hear a louder tape transport in the VCR and a noisy strip comes through the screen), my Panasonic DMR EH585 detects this as copy-protected content and stops recording. Is there a workaround for this problem or do I have to manually rewind the damaged parts?

Rewind.
Not to mention that ripping to MPEG2 is a bad idea. And certainly not with this Panasonic.

By the way, looking through the Service Manual for my recorder I found such an option, which in theory is full passthrough (maybe it will be useful to someone, but it only works rather for analog output):

I think by default it's off and you have full pass-through. In service mode you can enable compression and decompression and thus reduce quality.

Does anyone know how to turn on RF Modulator on PAL units?

I have some SVHS tapes that should contain teletext
I also have plenty of VHS tapes (although I know its not enough bandwith I should at least get the header)

Over Scart (no matter of I select Component or RGB output), there is no teletext (so I believe something is not getting passthrough SCART)

But over RF, Passthrough (from RF in to RF out) works fine
No matter what channel I select on my TV (tried Channel 3.4.5), VCR outputs nothing

I also tried holding [FUNCTIONS] for more then 10seconds, but nothing happens

Is there maybe some secret combination to turn that on

Strange fact is also that on the manual I found: https://help.na.panasonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DMRES35_RQTV0134_2_ENG.pdf

The remote looks different then mine: https://images2.imgbox.com/f7/3c/xpD2RmPn_o.jpg

Buttons which the manual mentions, I dont even have

Does anyone know what I need to do to get Teletext out of this Combo?

I'm confused by your workflow. Do you have an S-VHS VCR to play the S-VHS tapes in full quality and you're wanting to use the DMR-ES35V for passthrough TBC, not using its internal VCR playback?

This won't work. The full VBI isn't digitized by the DVD recorder; only the 576 active lines. The VBI from the passthrough output will be re-generated with only blanking, no Teletext.

(For what it's worth, I don't think there is a way to get the "raw" uncorrected signal output from the VCR side of this unit, either.)

That's the manual for the Region 1 NTSC version sold in North America. (help.na.panasonic.com)

I am trying to play S-VHS on DMR-ES35V (it can play S-VHS, just not record them I heared) and I am trying to get teletext (only show on TV for now)
