Timer recordings problems

• If you are recording from a satellite receiver or cable box,
make sure they are turned on and tuned to the desired

the unit to the corresponding Video Input Channel by
pressing the INPUT button on the remote control.
Remote control problems
Remote will not work
• Insert new batteries in the remote.
• Operate the remote control at a distance of no more
than 20 feet.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote and the unit
or other component. If your unit is in an entertainment
cabinet, the glass doors might obstruct the remote
control from operating the DVD recorder. Open the
doors.
Maintenance
For safety reasons, when cleaning the cabinet be sure to
disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for
cleaning.
• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.
Formation of Condensation
• Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity,
condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with
any cold parts inside the player.
• When condensation forms inside the player, the player
may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the player
at room temperature until the inside of the player
becomes dry and operational.
• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft,
dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole
toward the outer edge.
Handling Discs
• Do not touch the disc’s signal surfaces. Hold by the edges
or by one edge and the hole in the center.
• Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces.
Don’t scratch or damage the label.
• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
