PROBLEM SOLUTION
The picture is
distorted or
blackandwhite during
playback
bThe TV system of the disc does not match that of your TV set (PAL/NTSC).
bThe recording can be made in colour only when the TV channels or the connected additional device send a
colour signal. Black-and-white signals containing no color information (colour subcarriers) cannot be recorded.
No sound signal at the
digital output
bCheck whether the sound settings match the selected inputs and connected additional devices. For more
information, see section 'Sound setting' in chapter 'User preferences'.
There could be
difference in the
search speed of a DVD
and DVD+RW
bDepending on the different structure of a DVD and a DVD+RW/+R this can lead to the different search
speeds. This is not a fault in your machine.
A DVD+RW disc
cannot be played on
certain DVD players
bIf a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD player cannot detect it: Please observe the following
'Minimum recording times':
Recording mode 'M1': 5 minutes, 'M2': 10 minutes, 'M2x': 13 minutes, 'M3': 15 minutes, 'M4': 20 minutes,
'M6': 30 minutes, 'M8': 30minutes,
bSome DVD players cannot play back DVD+RW recordings. You can solve this problem by using a special
function:
1 Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the disc but do not close the tray.
2 Hold down the number button 2 on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc is
modified.
3 If this fails to produce the desired result, repeat the procedure using the number button 3 on
the remote control.
4 You can restore the disc to its original condition by pressing 1 .
Warning!
There is a risk that you can no longer play the disc on other DVD players after this procedure.
Therefore, apply this function with particular care.
Other disc errors
(DVD+RW)
bIf it is impossible to play back a disc, you can try and repair it for new recordings using the following function.
This will only prepare the disc for erasing. It will not be erased, however, until the recording has been
completed.
1 Clean the disc
2 Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the disc but do not close the tray.
3 Hold down the red function button on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc is
prepared for erasing.
4 Start recording as with an empty disc.
Other disc errors
(DVD+R), 'Disc
contains unknown
data' interruption of a
recording (power
outage)
bThis message may appear if you instert a DVD+R that was not finalised or an error occurs during the
recording. DVD+R's that have not been finalised are very sensitive to fingerprints, dust, or dirt. This may
cause problems during recording.
To use the disc again, follow the next steps
1 Make sure that the surface of the disc is clean.
2 Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the defect DVD+R but do not close
the tray.
3 Hold down 5 on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc will be read ('READING'
appears on the display) and the DVD recorder will start the repair process. This may take up
to four times as much time as the recording, in which the error occurred.
4 If the disc is recovered, the index screen will appear.
Please observe the following:
The recovering procedure is successfully only if there was a previous recording on the disc.
Error during recording: The title may be missing.
Error while changing the title/index picture: The original title/index picture may be visible.
Error while finalising: The disc appears not to have been finalised.
