Page 1 of Philips DVDR610 - blast from the past!!

Done the Av switching, the clock resetting etc etc. BUT has anybody come across this:-

Today unit failed to respond to remote. Changed batteries...nothing. Thought handset not trasnmitting as the little icon doesnt come up on the unit but my Freeview unit lights flash when IR signal is transmitted nearby. Tried a Philips DVD player handset and the signal icon appears on the screen but nothing else (wasnt really expecting anything)

In case of operational fault (Eg: locked not to accept handset) I tried to restore the factory default setting, which initally was Ok except you need to use the remote etc select language etc so noe its stuck on the language select set-up screen.

Questions:-
1. Anybody come across this before
2. If handset faulty anybody know where I can get one
3. I presume I can finish setting once I can "talk" to the unit
4. Does this unit have a facility to lock it so handset buttons not recognised
5. Where was the posting on how to get a disk from inside machine
6. Is it @#@*ed!!!

Reference disk, on my philips dvdr not the same model, theres a little hole under the drive unit on the bottom of the base, with a little white switch that solves blocked disc syndrome. Or you could take the top off. Also Try leaving it turned off for a few days with plug out of mains for a few days,

Solved......Just press the DVD Mode button. Somebody must have pressed the TV one thus disabling the remote.

If in doubt,......read the instructions!!!!!
