Code U80
This is the response from Panasonic re code U80--
I am sorry to learn of the circumstances that have prompted you to contact
our department. To clarify, U80 indicates either that poor quality or
damaged discs are being used or that the laser is failing. It is a
self-diagnostic fault code, possibly requiring attention by a qualified
engineer. This is not an inherent fault with the product but a guide for
the engineer to know where, within the product, he should seek the cause of
the problem.
Therefore if you suspect that the unit is faulty I would advise you to
consult a service engineer for further investigation.
The most appropriate course of action would be to submit the product to an
authorised, Panasonic DVD recorder service agent. Those in your local area
can be found through our website
