Can’t play a disc
recorded using this
recorder on another
player
• If the disc was recorded in Video mode, make sure that it’s finalized
(page 48).
•Some players will not play recordable DVD discs, even when
recorded in Video mode and finalized.
• If the disc was recorded in VR mode, the other player must be
specifically RW compatible in order to play it (page 7).
• Discs recorded with copy-once material cannot be played on non-
CPRM compatible players (page 34).
• DVD+RW discs containing only a small amount of recorded
material may not play on other players. Finalize the disc and try again.
During playback the
picture is dark or dis-
torted
• When a copy-protected disc is played via a VCR, the picture will not
display correctly. Connect the recorder directly to your TV.
Can’t record or does
not record successfully
• Check that there is some remaining blank space on the DVD/HDD.
• For a Video mode disc or DVD+R, check that the disc isn’t already
finalized.
• Check the limits on the number of titles and chapters on a disc:
– HDD: 999 titles
– VR mode: 99 titles, 999 chapters per disc
– Video mode disc: 99 titles per disc, 99 chapters per title
– DVD+R/+RW: 49 titles per disc, 99 chapters per title (max 254
chapters per disc)
• Check that the source you are trying to record is not copy protected.
• For a VR formatted disc, check that the disc isn’t locked (page 99).
• Check that you are recording with the same TV system (PAL, NTSC,
etc.) as the disc has already been recorded in. All recordings on a disc
must be in the same TV system. When recording to the HDD, it is also
necessary to set the Input Line System setting to match what you want
to record (page 116).
• The power may have failed during recording.
Timer program doesn’t
record successfully
• When setting the recording channel, make sure you set the
recorder’s built-in TV tuner, not the TV’s built-in tuner.
• When recording to a Video mode disc, programs that are copy-once
protected cannot be recorded. Use a VR mode formatted disc for copy-
once material (page 34).
• Two timer programs may have overlapped, in which case only the
earlier one will record completely.
• The power may have failed during recording.
• Check that the recorder’s TV system (PAL, NTSC, etc.) settings are
the same as the channel set for recording.
After briefly unplug-
ging or after a power
failure the front panel
display shows ‘--:--’
• A backup battery inside the recorder keeps the clock and other
settings from being reset when there is no power to the recorder. After
unplugging or a power failure, the battery keeps all settings for a
period of several minutes. Reset the clock and other recorder settings
to use the recorder again.
