Panasonic RV32 locked with error F489

Hi Shahram-K,

I realise you might have already done this, but I just looked up the internet finding only a couple of German or Dutch forums. One said that they asked the Panasonic site in their country about this same error, and they said the F489 was a mpeg decoder fault.

I could not find anymore , maybe you should search on Yahoo or another search engine or ask your local Panasonic Dealer/ Service agent.

Have you tried disconnecting the player for ten minutes or so, then reconnect it, to see if it resets itself?.

I have a RV32 also, its a great machine IMHO, a bit of a sleeper in fact. I will have another search for you tonight and reply here if I find anything helpful. I hope this is of some help to you.

Regards

Hi Dear friend

Great thanks for your huge effort to help me.

At first I should appologize for a mistake:The error code is "F498 " no "F489".So do excuse me for that.

Yes ,I consulted the local Panasonic service center,But they couldn't find this error code in their service manuall.Even they couldn't find my machine in the list .Mine is RV32E-S but all the machines included in service manuall were RV32Pxxxx

I also tried to reset it by unplugging from the main for 15-30 minutes.during the 10 days of appearance of this problem,such a trick caused just 2 sessions of proper functioning but next time I tried to turn it on I encountered the problem again and in last 4 days even that trick never worked.

Amazingly during those short periods of functioning,everything was good and I had no problems in both firmware function or mechanical function.

Again I thank you for your kind help to me.

Looking forward to hearing from you again.

Regards.

Hi Dear friend

Thanks for your kind answer to me.

I will try your suggested method as soon as possible although I am not brave enough to do such actions to my Audio/Video devices.

Any way,I appreciate your concentration in this matter.
