Chapter 8: Troubleshooting
Recording problems
• If you use the TV’s remote control to start recording, you
will not be able to change inputs (- page 32), open the
POP window (- page 40). If you attempt to do so, the
message “Not Available While Recording” will appear
on-screen.
• If you are recording a digital channel, you can only
change analog channels while recording is in progress. If
you are recording an analog channel, you can only
change digital channels while the recording is in
progress. This is because the TV tuner that is being
recorded (digital or analog) will be locked on the channel
that is currently recording.
• It is recommended that you use the TV’s remote control
to start recording. If you use a device other than the TV’s
remote control to start recording and then attempt to
access a feature that is normally denied during recording
(POP mode, changing inputs,) the recorded audio and/or
video may not be what you intended to record.
Audio Player problems
The Audio Player stutters and/or stops when playing
files over the network
• The networked PC is not available, was removed from
the network, or is in "hibernation." The Ethernet cables
are not connected properly. Check all cables for proper
connection.
• Sufficient network band-width is not available. Turn off
any other file sharing programs, network-based games, or
other network-intensive operations while the Audio
Player is playing.
“No media found” message is displayed
• Sharing is not correctly set up on the networked PC.
Make sure you connected your home network correctly
(- Installation Guide) and set up the network address

specifications” in Chapter 7).
Title or artist name is not displayed
• The MP3 file does not contain valid meta-data or does not
meet supported specifications (- “Media

• Sufficient network band-width is not available. Turn off
any other file sharing programs, network-based games, or
other network-intensive operations while the Audio
Player is playing.
• The shared folder has too many files or sub-folders. If the
shared folder on the networked PC contains a large
number of files or nested directories, it may take over a
minute for the Audio Player to locate all playable files.
The File is displayed but is always skipped

Some files in the shared folder are not played

nested 10 or more levels below the shared folder are not
searched.

change) but audio is not heard
