nfconnolly's dashboard

old chinese proverb says: "...when ant no going to well bring back water to thirsty, try google search with "DVD-S53 site:panasonic.com" and bring back watery smile to face..."

Hey nfconnolly -- I wonder if Thor's issue was because he tried searching with the dash in the name? Hmmmm....

So I noticed you're answering questions here and that you work for Panasonic. Thank you! Are you interested in claiming the Panasonic Satisfaction site and being an Official Rep? Here's more info on why you should and here's info on how to do it.

Hi:
Here are the instructions from the manual:
"Dew Detect/Eject Tape
Condensation has occured. Take out the cassette and wait for a while. It takes some time until the cassette holder opens, but this is not a malfunction."
On page 72 of the manual it gives more detailed instructions. Go to panasonic.com, put pvgs300 in the search engine. When you get to the pvgs300 page, click on the "get support" tab. A downloadable pdf of the instruction manual is there.
Hope this helps.

I happen to work for Panasonic, so was concerned when I saw this. I just went to the website (panasonic.com) and plugged in dvds53 into the search engine. It took me directly to the product page with downloadable operating instructions, etc. Not sure what happened when you tried it. I also see your question about the stuck drawer in the FAQ section on DVD players.
