No picture.
The picture is distorted or
black and white during
playback.
Recordings are not
occurring as scheduled.
New recordings cannot be
made.
No TV signal received from
the DVD recorder.
A DVD+R/+RW recorded on
this DVD recorder does not
play on a DVD player.
Picture is fuzzy and
brightness varies when
copying DVD Video discs or
prerecorded video cassettes.
– Switch on your TV and set to the correct Video In channel.
Change the TV channel until you see the DVD screen. Read
chapter “Getting Started - Setting the TV” for details.
– Check the video connection between the DVD recorder and the
TV.
– PAL input signal received from external device is not supported.
– The disc does not match with the TV color system standard (PAL/
NTSC).
– The disc is dirty, clean the disc.
– Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This
is not a malfunction.
– If you set the Record Mode to a low-quality speed, change to a
higher-quality speed after you finish recording. Leaving the DVD
recorder set to a low-quality speed may affect the picture quality
when playing DVDs later. Read chapter “Recording - Recording
settings” for details.
– The recording can be made in color only when the TV channels
or the connected additional device sends a color signal. In some
situations, programs that are broadcast in black and white cannot
be recorded.
– The TV channel you want to record is not stored or you selected
the wrong program number. Check TV channels stored.
– If you adjust the clock after you set a timer recording, reset the
timer recording.
– If the DVD recorder cannot read the disc, you cannot record.
– You cannot use the DVD recorder to duplicate copyrighted
materials (DVDs or videotapes) onto a DVD+R/+RW.
– A finalized DVD+R has been inserted. Change disc.
– Install the TV channel. Read chapter “Step3 : TV channel
programming” for details.
– If a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD player cannot
detect it. Please observe the following 'minimum recording times'.
Recording mode : {1 hour} – 5 minutes, {2 hours} – 10 minutes, {4
hours} – 20 minutes, {6 hours} – 30 minutes.
– You have to finalize the DVD+R. Refer to chapter “Playing your
recordings (DVD+R) on other DVD players” for details.
– This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video cassettes that
have been copy-protected. Even though the picture on the TV is
fine, but the recording on a DVD+R/+RW is faulty. This
interference is unavoidable with copy-protected DVDs or video
cassettes.
– The DVD+R/+RW has recording lifetime, please change a new
disc for recording.
