zontally
• Make sure that the
TV Screen Size
setting (page 97) is correct for the kind of TV
you have (see also page 101).
• 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 VIDEO ID-1
(widescreen signalling), 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 51).
•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 38).
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 record or does not record suc-
cessfully
• Check that there is some remaining blank space on the DVD/HDD.
• For a Video mode disc, check that the disc isn’t already finalized.
• The HDD may contain up to 999 titles; one DVD disc 99 (Original) titles and 999
chapters (VR mode), or 99 chapters (Video mode). 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 locked (page 87).
• 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 99).
• The power may have failed during recording.
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 38).
• Two timer programs may have overlapped, in which case only the earlier one will
record completely.
• The power may have failed during recording.
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 five 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 47).
