Panasonic DMR-E20 DVD Recorder Questions & Answers
DVD recorder DMR-E20 will not communicate with remote
Have the remote tested, it can be done easily without the unit, also most digital cameras in a very very dark room can be used--point remote at camera (with it on) and press buttons, you should see a tiny flash on the display screen of the camera.If the remote tests good the remote receiver in the unit it operates may be bad.Attached is a typical receiver, yours may not have the metal bracket and the item in the picture is actually less than 1/2 inch tall.

Start up u99 message
Hi there, this is what Panasonic say.... The "U99" error code signifies a "general communications failure."
It is not associated with one specific problem.
It can be related to the version of firmware your DVD recorder is currently using and it has been associated with the TV Guide on screen guide.
If your unit displays U99, turn the power off-unplug the
unit for 5 minutes, and reconnect the power.
If U99 reoccurs, please contact
the Global Service Center Network for assistance.

Hi, I have two DMR-E20
HI, well to my mind, if two devices are doing the same thing, I tend to think that's it is NOT the device, but the media, or if not the media, then perhaps the desired action simply isn't available on that unit?.
Many many DVD recorders simply will NOT play, and record all types and brands of DVD's. Especially DVD RAM, along with certain types of DVD-R.
Usually what one needs to do is read the specifications and in there it will dictate exactly what type/brand of DVD is to be used.
Most often the best sort of DVD to use, is the DVD-R/W, from one of the Named brands.
I do not think you have an actual "Fault" and the only type of "Fault" that could cause this type of thing, would be the laser Assembly, and or the Quadrant Detector, however this would also manifest problems with "Other" DVD's as well? Which don't seem to be happening? So I would tend to think, about "Other' reasons as to why this is so before sending off the unit(s) for "Repair"
Below is your user manual.

Line Of Distortion Along The Bottom of an Em20 Burned Disc
It's possible there is either a codec problem with your computer player. I would recommend trying a player such as VLC Media Player, to see if that works. If that isn't it, what kind of TV's are you watching the video on? Are they "tubed" or flat screen? If they are tubed, you wouldn't be able to see the line at the bottom like you do when you play the video on the computer.

Video out problem
I own a DMR-ES20 and had that problem. Panasonic Customer Service gave me a fix that works.
On the unit itself, press STOP and PLAY at the same time for about 10 seconds. This fixed my player.

Doesn't read disks
Hello,
If you are getting the error that states your discs are dirty then the problem could be that your optical lens is dirty. You will need to open the tray then unplug the unit from the wall. Get some cotton cu tips and rubbing alcohol. If you look inside the laser carriage you will see a glass looking bubble in the middle (that is your optical lens). Dip a cu tip lightly into the rubbing alcohol making sure you do not totally saturate it. Gently clean the optical lens in a circular fashion with the cu tip. Repeat this step a few times and then let air dry for 2 minutes before plugging the device back in and then replace the cover and try playing your discs. For best results clean your optical lens once every two months (sooner if you live in a dry dusty climate or have pets inside along with blowing out the inside with a can of compressed air) also clean your discs often to keep them in good shape and place them in their cases when not in use to avoid scratches. You can check out my tips for cleaning dvd/cd discs for more information also. Let me know if you need further assistance.
If you would not mind please rate my help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
