Tried to create "jump to" points w/ Panny EH50 using "chapters" function

I have no idea why your chapter points are working like you describe. Mine work like you thought yours should work. You must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what it is.


My E100 probably works different than your EH50 but the process of erasing chapter points must be described in your manual. On my E100, have the HHD selected (not the burner). I press the DISPLAY button on the remote. Then I press the DOWN ARROW to move the yellow highlight down one notch to highlight PLAY. There you should see all the chapter markers that you have placed on your entire HHD. If you have only placed them on the one program then you don't have to locate the ones you want to erase. If you have some that you don't want to erase then you have to highlight one of them and press ENTER and see where that marker takes you. By doing that a few times you can locate the markers you want to erase. Highlight the lowest numbered marker and then press the CANCEL button on the remote which erases that chapter marker. If you have a lot of markers, it doesn't look like you did anything BUT YOU DID. Say you want to erase 6 markers, highlight the lowest numbered one and then press the CANCEL button 6 times.


That's how my E100 works. I hope Panasonic does it the same way on the EH50.

Did you accidentally turn on Repeat Play - Chapter ?

Sounds like that might be the problem. Funny, I've never bothered using it. I have the E85, and in order to access it you must press the Display button, which is located in a row of buttons under the arrow buttons, and scroll to play, then arrow over to select Repeat play and then choose OFF. .


As for removing a chapter you don't want, with the E85


In Direct Navigator, highlight the show you want

Press Sub menu

Scroll to CHAPTER

That show's chapter screen loads

Go to the chapter you don't want

Then press Sub menu

Scroll down to COMBINE CHAPTERS

The chapter you picked will appear along with the chapter after it (example, you select chapter 4, it's thumbnail is shown followed by the thumbnail for ch 5)

You will b asked whether you want to combine these 2 chapters.

Select YES.

Both are then combined, and yoiu are returned to the chapter screen.


Each Panny model, for some odd reason, had some of their terms tweaked by the geniuses at the company, so the words used to describe the same functions may be slightly different on your E50.

I'm confused....Then you are working with Direct Navigator or whatever.. Repetition is normal for the CHAPTER VIEW screen as you highlight each one. But the chapters shouldn't repeat on normal playback. (Press ENTER from Direct Navigator screen, or selecting a chapter "Press ENTER" in CHAPTER VIEW). When you CREATE CHAPTER, does the whole thing play thru?


Playlists won't solve your problem. But they are the safe way to edit/chapters. If you make a mistake, you can delete it and start over, without losing the source. Pg 40 of the manual..
