Additional Information
Display
The clock has stopped.
, Set the clock again. (See “Setting the Clock” in the separate
booklet “Hookups and Settings.”).
, The clock stopped due to a power failure that lasted for more
than 1 hour. Reset the clock. (See “Setting the Clock” in the
separate booklet “Hookups and Settings.”).
The TIMER REC indicator is flashing.
, The disc does not have enough space or there are more than
99 titles in the disc. Insert a recordable disc, and turn off the
recorder.
, There is no recordable disc inside the recorder.
The recording mode indication is incorrect.
, If you make a recording that is less than three minutes long,
the recording mode indication shown during playback may
not match the recording mode you selected during recording.
Note that the actual recording mode will always match the
mode you selected, not the indication during playback.
Remote commander
The remote does not function.
, Batteries are weak. (See the separate booklet, “Hookups and
Settings.”)
, There are obstacles between the remote and the recorder.
, The remote is too far from the recorder.
, There are no batteries in the remote. (See the separate
booklet, “Hookups and Settings.”)
, The remote’s manufacturer code returned to the default
setting when you replaced the batteries. Reset the code. (See
“Controlling your TV or AV Amplifier (Receiver)” in the
separate booklet, “Hookups and Settings.”)
, Turn on the recorder.
, The remote is not pointed at the remote sensor on the
recorder.
, Different command modes are set for the recorder and
remote. Set the same command mode. (See “Preparing the
Remote” in the separate booklet, “Hookups and Settings.”)
, The TV/DVD switch is set to TV. (See “Controlling Your
TV or AV Amplifier (Receiver)” in the separate booklet,
“Hookups and Settings.”)
Other Sony equipment responds to the remote.
, The same command mode is set for both the equipment and
recorder. Set a different command mode for the recorder.
(See the separate booklet, “Hookups and Settings.”)
Others
The recorder does not operate properly.
, When static electricity, etc., causes the recorder to operate
abnormally, unplug the recorder and then plug it in again.
Nothing appears in the front panel display.
, “Dimmer” in Options Setup is set to “Off” (page 82).
Five numbers or letters are displayed on the
front panel display.
, The self-diagnosis function was activated (see the table on
page 88).
The disc tray does not open when you press the
Z (open/close) button.
, It may take a few seconds for the disc tray to open after you
have recorded or edited a disc. This is because the recorder
is adding disc data to the disc.
“RECOVERY” appears in the front panel
display.
, The recorder’s recovery function was activated when the
recorder was turned on because the power was turned off or
failed during recording. Leave the recorder on until
“RECOVERY” disappears from the front panel display.
