Yes I unplugged everything then discovered I had broken the circuit of my Sky TV broadband and replaced all the plugs and restarted with exactly the same result. I must inform you I have just celebrated my 80th birthday and cannot crawl about the plugs on the floor! I am also useless with electronics .It is all wired up to my Audiolab Amp. and KEF speakers.as I am a music lover still have my LP records and many CDs

Thanks Christopher for the info,
It seems recorder has got some internal issue, lets try to reset to default settings, press and hold channel up and down buttons on recorder (not on its remote) for 10 seconds to get the recorder reset.
If reset the recorder doesn't fix the issue then I'm afraid it would be hardware related issue and main processor board will need to be swapped which cost good money if still available with local Panasonic Parts/ service center and you would be better off with a new recorder instead of spending money and time on this one's repair.
I trust my input will help you out. Please feel free to respond if you have any additional questions.

Thanks Christopher for positive rating to answer, please reply back if it wasn't intended and a new recorder would be good choice at this point.
