Troubleshooting (cont’d)

Problem

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

The wrong TV channel was decoded (recorded) after you programmed a recording using the

VCR Plus+® system.

A DVD+RW or DVD+R recorded on this DVD recorder will not play on a DVD player.

Solution

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

If you adjust the clock after you set a timer recording, reset the timer recording.

If the DVD recorder cannot read the disc, you cannot record.

You cannot use the DVD recorder to duplicate copyrighted materials (DVDs or videotapes) onto a DVD+RW/+R, “COPY PROTECT” will be displayed.

A finalized DVD+R has been inserted. Change disc.

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

2)Press OK to confirm.

3)Check the channel number in the {Ch.} 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.

If 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} - 30 minutes.

Some DVD players cannot playback DVD+RW recordings.

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