I am not able to stop, rewind, fast forward or pause the tape player. Do you have any suggestions how or what I need to do to get it to work?

If you are using the remote, check the batteries. If you are using the buttons on front, be sure that you have it set in the right mode. Otherwise call manufacturer.

I'm sorry, I only use it to play records. I know it worked to begin with but haven't used that feature since I bought itl.

We finally sent ours back. We had been trying to burn cd's from our album collection, but could not complete it when it was time to turn the record over. We talked and talked with their tech ppl, used different brands of cd's (at their instruction). We finally got a refund.

Hi Liz I returned 2 of them. The first one the cd did not work then the next nothing worked. Im sorry to tell you but you do need to return it. Also if you use the recordplayer and it has the scratches and on the cd it will sound just like that. It sounds tinny. So Sorry to tell you this but i had no luck with it. 2sassyjay@comcast.net

I have the same player you have and have played those very same blu ray dvd's I would unplug the player.wait a few min. allow it to reboot........andtry it again if all else fails...I would try a different disc from that collection.and If that doest work you may have gotten a defective set of discs.

I have the 4gig and it does it too. The trick to fix that worked for me is shown on UTube, although it is annoying to have to do it all the time. Just look for Zen White screeen of Death on U-Tube. I found it hard to accurately understand how to do it without watching this video.It seems to also help to have the player in standard play mode before turning off, or I might be imagining things.

My experience with some older players Like a JVC just wont play the recording ! Try contacting JVC !

I had so many issues with this player myself that I eventually scrapped it and purchased one of superior quality..... Off brands can be tricky to deal with.... you might try formatting the player to clear everything off the memory.

I am having the same Netflix streaming problem: video is constantly stopping and starting (buffering). It seems to work better once it has been playing for a while but the first 10-15 minutes are unwatchable. I switched back to my old crappy Insignia player (which won't play discs anymore) to see if it was a network issue. Nope, it's the Panasonic player. Returning it before my 30 days are up.

Hi C. There is a reverse(rewind) button(also fast forward,stop, and pause) to turn back tape to certain spot. But if you are talking about auto-reverse - where the tape automatically goes to the next side when first side is finished - no it does not have that. There is no counter either so when you do reverse, you just have to stop and go till you find what you want - it's a nice little recorder/player for the price,mine has a slight humming in the background when I recorded voices, but didnt bother me much - I have this and have written a review(on jan 10th/10) with feature details - it may be of some help Laurie

If you hit the rewind button while playing, you should be able to put the recorder in rewind mode. Otherwise its hit stop and then rewind. Since I returned the unit, I am assuming you would be able to go directly from playing to rewind without stopping and then rewinding for any period. Similar recorders do have that feature.

The player has a pause button on it and you can pause as long as you like but if you hit the stop button and turn the machine off - hoping to resume it will go back to the beginning. No resume button.

Hi Bernadette, you can only do fast forward/rewind on the remote control. Not possible on the player itself. -Vincent

if you unplugged it and plugged it back on, and nothing positive happens.....throw it out! panasonic makes garbage dvd players. it is not the panasonic of the past. i keep 5 dvd players in the house, cause i am a movie buff., and in the past i've had all panasonic players. those days are over. i have one panasonic player left and that hiccups every eight minutes on recordable discs. on your problem, maybe you can contact panasonic.com or call them and they can send you, or you can download their software update. it didnt work for me, but it might work for you. if mechanically inclined, and not under warranty....you can take off the cover, unscrew the carriage cover and remove the disc. also sometimes, if the disc is not in the slot correctly., it could jam up, and shut itself off. my dmp-bd871 played well for 4 months, and now it will not accept any disc. i will admit, that before it went kaput, it had the best picture of any other player i've had................irene

I have to agree with what Eric said, I've done tape player recordings and they came out pretty good. I have a tape player that I plugged into the Sound Card, I tweaked the recording adjustments and it came out great. You can do so much with the card, I'm just a tinkerer and it was easy to use. I mostly use my card for playing music, gaming and chatting on-line.

I had the same exact issue. Everything else with this player has worked flawlessly for me so far. I called Icom's customer service number regarding this. The woman who answered (operator/receptionist) and the man she put me through to (tech guy) were both impatient. They spoke very quickly and sounded frustrated, like they had better things to do. Or as if they thought I was mentally challenged; or speaking in a foreign language. I thought they were a little rude. Anyway, I mentioned as quickly as possible that the USB played Mp3's perfectly fine, but when I tried playing video Mp4 clips, video would show up but no audio. I tried every audio setting imaginable, but still no luck. The tech guy looked into it and after a brief moment came back and said that the mp4 playback doesn't include/allow audio. I told him I thought that was strange and thanked him for his time. So supposedly we cannot get audio with mp4 videos through the USB on this particular player. I tried Jodi Waxman's (other poster who left comment on OP's question) vague advice and came up with nothing. I looked over the manual several times and tried all the audio settings (on the player itself as well as my receiver)... nothing. If someone that reads this had the same issue and can say they get audio with their mp4 video files, I would love to know what they did to get it to work.

I have the older version of this player and mine does that quite often, too. Not necessarily when I am playing DVDs, but when I am playing movies off of my hard drive. I have found no solution. SO frustrating.

You may have to disable PlayBack Control (PBC) in the Preferences menu on the player for this to work.Press "Stop"Go to "Preferences" in the setup menuSet Playback Control to "Off"That may do it.

I haven't had that exact problem. My only suggestion is to update your player's firmware. The manual tells you how, but really you just connect the player to your internet router with a cable and turn it on. It updates itself and when it's done you can remove the cable. I believe some of the newer disks have new "features" that can confuse the older firmware.

The controls for the cassette are on the top. the button on the side has to be on tape. The buttons on the front are for the cassette. That's crazy!! I haven't played mine in awhile and I just tried it and it plays them awfully slow so I won't use it until I find out why it does that!! When I first got it I thought it played pretty good. Also make sure the tape is up and not down. Good luck, hope this helped you. Barb
