After a year of perfect service from my DMR-E85H, it has started failing during the power on sequence. Here's what typically happens:

- PLEASE WAIT msg
- at least 60 seconds of the progression lights
- BYE message
- PLEASE WAIT message
- another minute or two waiting
- L3 message (that's fine. I use L3)
- message on TV ERROR HAS OCCURED. PRESS ENTER (WHICH i DO)
- BYE message
- PLEASE WAIT message
now, I sometimes get SELF CHECK message, after which unit operates ok
until I power down.

but, more often, I get PLEASE CHANGE THE DISC message, even though the DVD tray is empty.

Should I be hauling the unit into a service centre?

Thaks so much to anyone who can advise.

I may have overcome the problem after all.

The Tech Rep at Panasonic's Call Centre was unable to help and said that taking the unit in to a repair centre looked like the only thing I
could do. I'm not that close to one hence wasn't keen to do that. So,
based on some of the other postings regarding the DMR-E85H, I thought
I'd try upgrading the firmware, even though it did appear from
those postings that the upgrade was aimed mostly at fixing TV GUIDE issues. I do not use the TV GUIDE service.

After doing the upgrade, the unit returned to normal operations (at least, for now).
