– The disc does not match with the TV colour 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 nish 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 colour only when the TV
channels or the connected additional device sends a colour
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, you
have to 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 nalized DVD±R has been inserted. Change disc.
– Install the TV channel. Read chapter “Step 3 : TV channel

– 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 nalize 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 ne, 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.
