VCR problems

No picture or snowy picture

¥Turn on the TV.

¥Make sure your unit is connected properly, and tune your TV to the Video Input Channel that corresponds to the jacks you used to connect the TV to the unit.

¥If you connected a satellite receiver or a cable box, make sure it is turned on.

¥Some snow or streaks are normal during search, stop action, frame advance, and slow-motion playback.

¥Adjust the tracking by pressing the TRK+/Ð buttons during tape playback.

¥The tape may be worn out or of poor quality.

Tape will not play

¥Make sure your unit is connected properly, and tune your TV to the Video Input Channel that corresponds to the jacks you used to connect the TV to the unit.

¥Try ejecting the tape and reinserting it.

¥Make sure the tape is not broken.

¥Make sure the unit is not in pause mode. Press PAUSE or PLAY to return to normal playback.

Time counter disappears during searching

¥This is normal if the tape reaches a section where there is nothing recorded on it.

¥Try ejecting the tape and reinserting it.

Tape will not record

¥Make sure there is a recordable tape in the unit.

¥Make sure the tapeÕs safety tab is intact and has not been removed.

Timer recordings problems

¥Make sure the clock is set and the time is correct.

¥Make sure you set up the timer recording correctly.

¥If you are recording from a satellite receiver or cable box, make sure they are turned on and tuned to the desired channel when it is time for the recording to start. Also, if you used audio/video or S-Video cables to connect your satellite receiver or cable box to the DVD recorder, tune 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 discÕs 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. DonÕt scratch or damage the label.

¥Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
