Remote for Panasonic NV-HD70A with G-Code.

GB Telespares in Melbourne are Panasonic agents. If they have one in stock, it will likely be cheap. (03)93266335

Thanks for the reply Rudolf. I contacted them around 6 weeks ago.

This was their reply:-

I seem to remember seeing on a web site for a video equipment repairer a while back , that they had second hand parts for sale. But I do not remember who they are, and I have not been able to find them by searching.

When the VCR first came out and you wanted to record something say, off program 2 at 5:15

You had press one button twice, the next one 5 times, another 15 times and at the end of all that, you were lucky you recorded anything at all

Now with G code manufactures are including all the ten buttons needed to put in the time, if they had of done that on day one you would not need the stupid G code

Checkout Prime Electronics in Brisbane, VEQ1638 REMOTE CONTROL VEQ1637

is $79 and they have one in stock.. Allan

You can almost buy a hard drive PVR for that. I'm surprised anyone would be bothered to fix a VCR these days.

Dave :)

More to the point, you can buy a new VHS HiFi recorder for that.

Difficult to play your old tapes on a hard drive PVR though.

MrT.

A *lot* of people have big collections of old tapes. That's why Beta hung around for a very long time after most people had gone over to VHS. Yes, I know Beta is technically better so you don't need to tell me. :)

Why would you want to watch them again on a crappy VCR though?, which also wears out your precious recording even more? If it's a one-of-kind important tape then you'd be crazy not to get it into digital format *now* before you lose it forever.

Dave :)

Hey, I've been dealing with the general public for a long time. I know how they think ... and it ain't the way you and me think! :)

Bob

Exactly, and how do you do that without a functioning VCR?

(But yes he shouldn't require a remote for that purpose)

MrT.

The remote is needed for an elderly lady who needs a recorder that is easy to use.

I don't think she could drive a PVR.

Plenty of companies around that specialise in transferring all your old tapes, film, photos, slides or whatever into digital format. And yes, I realise they need functioning VCR's to do that... :->

Dave :)

And you'd also realise that probably costs more in most cases than buying a new VCR too.

MrT.

Same problem with my mother. They need a remote that has an on/off switch, volume control, and channel selector knob. Nothing else.

Does anyone know of a PVR that uses G-code?

In theory a digital program guide with real time updates is far more useful. In practice the commercial channels make sure both are equally useless, so who cares?
