Note
• If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity, disconnect the power plug
from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.
Screen is stretched vertically or hori-
zontally
• Make sure that the
TV Screen Size
setting (page 86) is correct for the kind of TV
you have (see also page 91).
• If you have a widescreen TV, check its aspect ratio settings.
• This recorder’s input switches into wide mode automatically according to the
input signal. When the unit connected is not compatible with ID-1, set the
connected component to output 4:3 aspect ratio (standard) video.
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 56).
•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 9).
• Discs recorded with copy-once material cannot be played on non-CPRM
compatible players (page 45).
During playback the picture is dark
or distorted
• 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 control your TV using this
remote control
• If there is more than one code listed for your make of TV, try each one in turn
(page 90)
• It is possible that none of the codes listed will work with your particular model of
TV, even if the maker appears in the remote control code list.
Can’t record or does not record suc-
cessfully
• Check that there is some remaining blank space on the DVD (page 67).
• Check that the disc isn’t already finalized.
• A DVD can contain up to 99 (Original) titles and 999 chapters. Check that these
limits have not been reached.
• Check that the source you are trying to record is not copy protected.
• For a VR formatted disc, check that the disc isn’t protected (page 70).
• Check that you are recording with the same line input system as the disc has
already been recorded in. All recordings on a disc must be in the same line input
system (ie., PAL, SECAM or NTSC).
Timer program doesn’t record suc-
cessfully
• 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 45).
• Two timer programs may have overlapped, in which case only the earlier one will
record completely.
After briefly unplugging or after a
power failure the front panel dis-
play shows ‘--:--’
• A backup battery inside the recorder keeps the clock and other settings from
being reset when there is no power to the recorder. This battery should last
approximately 5 years from factory shipping.
Reset the clock and other recorder settings to use the recorder again. To have the
battery replaced, contact your dealer or a Pioneer Service Center.
Front panel display shows ‘LOCK’
when a button is pressed
• The Child Lock is on; turn off in order to use the recorder (page 52).
