Troubleshooting (continued)

Problem (Recording)	Solution

The wrong TV channel was decoded (recorded) after you programmed a recording using the VIDEO Plus+® system.

Picture is fuzzy and brightness varies when copying DVD Video discs or prerecorded video cassettes.

Recordings are not occurring as scheduled. New recordings cannot be made.

The picture on my decoder appears to be distorted during recording.

1)Enter the PlusCode programming number of the desired TV channel.

2)Press OK to confirm.

3)Check the channel number in the {Program #} input field. If this does not correspond to the desired TV channel, select this entry field and change the channel number.

4)Press OK to confirm.

–This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video cassettes that have been copy-protected. Even though the picture on the TV is fine, but the recording on the DVD recordable disc is faulty. This interference is unavoidable with copy-protected DVDs or video cassettes.

–The DVD recordable disc has a limited recording lifetime, please change a new disc for recording.

–The TV channel you want to record is not stored or you selected the wrong program number. Check the TV channels stored.

–You have to reset the timer recording after adjusting the clock setting.

–You cannot use the recorder to duplicate copy-protected materials (DVDs or video tapes) onto a DVD recordable disc.

–If you are recording a programme from your decoder box, you can view the same programme by pressing TV/DVD on the recorder’s remote control.
