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 49).
•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 35).
• DVD+RW discs containing only a small amount of recorded
material may not play on other players. Finalize the disc and try again.
During playback the
picture is dark or dis-
torted
• 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 successfully
• Check that there is some remaining blank space on the DVD/HDD.
• For a Video mode disc or DVD+R, check that the disc isn’t already
finalized.
• Check the limits on the number of titles and chapters on a disc:
– HDD: 999 titles
– VR mode: 99 titles, 999 chapters per disc
– Video mode disc: 99 titles per disc, 99 chapters per title
– DVD+R/+RW: 49 titles per disc, 99 chapters per title (max 254
chapters per disc)
• 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 103).
• The power may have failed during recording.
Timer program doesn’t
record successfully
• 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 35).
• 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 unplug-
ging or after a power
failure the front panel
display shows ‘--:--’
• A backup battery inside the recorder keeps the clock and other
settings from being reset when there is no power to the recorder. After
unplugging or a power failure, the battery keeps all settings for a
period of several minutes. Reset the clock and other recorder settings
to use the recorder again.
