Panasonic DMREX77EBK DVD HDD Recorder For Parts or Repair

Panasonic DMR-EX77EB-K DVD/HDD recorder with 160GB hard drive and HDMI output - *For Parts or Repair*

I had been using this unit to digitize VHS tapes very successfully. However, after a spell in storage, it has stopped displaying video from all external inputs — I now just get a grey screen with sound.

According to various forums, this is a common issue caused by a failing capacitor on the video input board. I’m unable to repair it myself and haven’t found anyone locally who can, so I’m selling it for parts or repair.

Alternatively, if you think you can fix these issues, please get in contact. I would like to keep this if it can be fixed, it's a serious bit of kit when operational.

Features:
- 160GB HDD for recording and playback

- DVD recorder with HDMI upscaling

- Built-in tuner

- SCART, component, and DV inputs

- Copy recordings between HDD and DVD

The unit powers on, menus work, and HDD/DVD functions respond as normal — just the external video inputs have failed.

Ideal for someone who repairs electronics or wants it for spares.
