This is what I found for your error code on the player... Why does my unit display 'U99,' and why has it stopped working? The "U99" error code signifies a "general communications failure". It is not associated with one specific problem. It can be related to the version of firmware your DVD recorder is currently using and it has been associated with the TV Guide On Screen™ guide. If your unit displays U99, turn the power off, unplug the unit for 5 minutes, and reconnect the power. If U99 reoccurs, please contact the Global Service Center Network for assistance. with this as a link to contact the Global Service Center Network http://panasonic.net/support/gscn/index.html Most reviews that I have read some have had problems with the U99 error and they seem to think it had something to do with the TV GUIDE. They say they contacted Panasonic but did not receive much help. If you want to see these reviews and maybe figure out a fix Google the below and I had a few hits come up... panasonic dmr-es10 errorv U99GUIDEGUIDfigurefigurereceiveEsomethingreceiveGUIDEreceiveGoogleerror
