I have a Panasonic DVD recorder; it has a HDD upon which to record stuff as well as a DVD player to play discs and I can burn new DVDs on it. I was burning a recorded program onto DVD (purely for private viewing purposes; never to sell or show for reward) and, ever since that, the machine thinks that it has a DVD in the carriage thingy. There isn't one in there and now it won't play DVDs. let alone burn 'em.
Is there someone out there who knows about these things? I imagine I could go to Hills Telefix and pay a fee for them to tell me some easy fix, but I thought that this triffic little TWF community might well be the way to go.
clean out all content on the HDD. turn off and unplug dvd recorder for 24 hours, plug in again and see what happens. also consider downloading a firmware update for device, if one is available

open tray / cover and blow out dust - probably blocking the disc detect sensor

Have you tried thumping it?
I'd give it a go with no disc in first, and then with a disc inserted and probably with power on/off also. Whack it on top and also from the side. Also with it on a soft surface such as your lap so you don't shock the HDD too much.
kinetic manipulation is an art form which tends to yield quite good results![]()
