I Have a Panasonic Dvd Recorder 9 DMR -EZ27EB )
When I press the guide button on the remote this usually brings up the channels and programmes so i can set to record. It is saying
" No Guide " and No programmes come up, I dont remember pressing any buttons or anything that could have knocked it off sync - can anyone help me out ?
Also on the display of the actual dvd recorder itself it says "A1" wherer i think it usually displays the time ?????
HELP !!!!!

    A1 = AV1 i.e. a rear scart socket. Press the input select button to cycle through the inputs too 'TV'.

    Regarding the EPG issue, it's not listed but might the the same as here:

    When you changed to TV did you see anything on screen. If not check you aerial is still connected.

    You could also try to reset - function menu, others, auto setup

    I suspect you can still set recordings the long way by programming the start and finish times and channel.

    Go through the setup procedure again, or scan for new channels. That should bring the guide back, unless there's an external cause, such as aerial thrown off-target with snow, etc. ...

    Refer to instruction manual for how to do this
