(page 64).
•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 7).
• Discs recorded with copy-once material cannot be played on non-
CPRM compatible players (page 54).
• DVD-RW discs containing only a small amount of recorded material
may not play on other players. Finalize the disc and try again.

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 109).
• 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 127).
• The power may have failed during recording.
