I got my DVD recorder and video stabilizer and set them up. I managed to get them working, but I didn’t have the remote control for the DVD recorder. It was mentioned in the auction as being missing, so that was fine, but it turns out a lot of the features are only accessible through the remote. I called up Panasonic to find out the part number, and with shipping it would be about $20 to have it sent. I said I’d think about it and order online. I finally decided I wanted it after all, so I can create chapter stops, etc. So just now I went to the Panasonic parts ordering site, and I selected the right remote and added it to my cart. I could see it in the cart, but in place of a “Proceed to Checkout” button was the following message in bold red text.

So do the tubes get clogged on Sundays? Is the Internet at church? WTF?
