PROBLEMSOLUTION

The picture is distorted or black during playback

No sound signal at the digital output

There could be difference in the search speed of a DVD and DVD+RW

bThe TV system of the disc does not match that of your TV set (PAL/NTSC).

bThe recording can be made in colour only when the TV channels or the connected additional device send a colour signal. Black-and-white signals containing no color information (colour subcarriers) cannot be recorded.

bCheck whether the sound settings match the selected inputs and connected additional devices. For more information, see section 'Sound setting' in chapter 'User preferences'.

bDepending on the different structure of a DVD and a DVD+RW/+R this can lead to the different search speeds. This is not a fault in your machine.

ENGLISH

A DVD+RW disc cannot be played on certain DVD players

bIf a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD player cannot detect it: Please observe the following 'Minimum recording times':

Recording mode 'M1': 5 minutes, 'M2': 10 minutes, 'M2x': 13 minutes, 'M3': 15 minutes, 'M4': 20 minutes,

'M6': 30 minutes, 'M8': 30minutes,

bSome DVD players cannot play back DVD+RW recordings. You can solve this problem by using a special function:

1Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the disc but do not close the tray.

2Hold down the number button 2 on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc is modified.

3If this fails to produce the desired result, repeat the procedure using the number button 3 on the remote control.

4You can restore the disc to its original condition by pressing 1 .

Warning!

Other disc errors (DVD+RW)

Other disc errors (DVD+R), 'Disc contains unknown data' interruption of a recording (power outage)

There is a risk that you can no longer play the disc on other DVD players after this procedure. Therefore, apply this function with particular care.

bIf it is impossible to play back a disc, you can try and repair it for new recordings using the following function. This will only prepare the disc for erasing. It will not be erased, however, until the recording has been completed.

1Clean the disc

2Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the disc but do not close the tray.

3Hold down the red function button on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc is prepared for erasing.

4Start recording as with an empty disc.

bThis message may appear if you instert a DVD+R that was not finalised or an error occurs during the recording. DVD+R's that have not been finalised are very sensitive to fingerprints, dust, or dirt. This may cause problems during recording.

To use the disc again, follow the next steps

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

2Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the defect DVD+R but do not close the tray.

3Hold down 5 on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc will be read ('￿￿￿￿￿￿￿' appears on the display) and the DVD recorder will start the repair process. This may take up to four times as much time as the recording, in which the error occurred.

4If the disc is recovered, the index screen will appear.

Please observe the following:

The recovering procedure is successfully only if there was a previous recording on the disc. Error during recording: The title may be missing.

Error while changing the title/index picture: The original title/index picture may be visible.

Error while finalising: The disc appears not to have been finalised.
