Appellants seek a remand in this workers’ compensation appeal, showing that a transcript of the merits hearing cannot be prepared and the parties are unable to provide a satisfactory substitute for the transcript. In these circumstances, we find we must reverse and remand the order on appeal for a hearing de novo. See Arnold Lumber Co. v. Harris, 469 So.2d 786 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
