The menus of your DVD recorder do not
appear in the language you want
• Check that your language is available in the
settings menu. If not, choose another
language.
You can’t access the selected menu, even
when you press OK
• If the name of the menu appears on a
transparent background, it means that the
corresponding menu or function is not
available. The Disc, Titles and Playlist menus
are contextual menus: they depend on
operations performed beforehand such as:
- Disc is only accessible if there is a disc in the
disc tray of your DVD recorder.
- Titles is only accessible once you have
recorded a TV program or video sequence
(from an external device).
Your DVD recorder menu disappears
• As with computers, your DVD recorder has a
screen saver which replaces the fixed menu by
a mobile RCA logo. Press on a navigation key
to bring back the fixed menu.
You can’t switch channels
•During the recording of a TV program (or
video sequence from a connected device),
switching channels is impossible. To change
channels, you have to stop the recording
completely.
In quiet moments, you hear a slight hum
coming from your DVD recorder
•Your DVD recorder is equipped with a fan. It
switches on as soon as your DVD recorder is
turned on and produces a slight hum.
Other problems
If you forget your password
•Open the player’s disc tray and ensure that
there is no disc on it. Close the tray. The
player menu is now displayed on the TV
screen. Now press the STOP key on your player
and hold the STOP key on the remote control
unit down for 3 seconds. The password that
you chose for parental control is cancelled.
The close padlock on your recorder’s display
disappears.
DVD copy protections
In accordance with the DVD standard, your DVD
recorder is equipped with a Copy Protection
system, which can be triggered on and off by the
DVD disc itself, in order to make any recording of
the concerned DVD disc onto a videotape of very
poor picture quality, or even impossible. “This
