This message may appear if you insert a disc that contains junk data. DVD±Rs that have not been finalised are very sensitive to fingerprints, dust, or dirt. This may cause problems during recording. To use the disc again, do the following :

1)Make sure that the surface of the disc is clean.

2)Press OPEN/CLOSE on this recorder.

3)Insert the disc but do not close the tray.

4)Hold down button number {5} on the remote control until the tray closes. This recorder starts the repair process.

5)If the disc is recovered, the Picture Index screen will appear.

Check that the antenna cable is plugged in firmly.

No aerial signal received for the current channel or no video signal received from the external input channel (EXT1, EXT2, CAM1 or CAM2).

If you connect the recorder to a Cable Box/Satellite Receiver, make sure that it is turned on.
