Troubleshooting (continued)

Problem (Recording)

Solution

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 ShowView system.

The index screen flickers when a DVD±R is inserted.

Picture is fuzzy and brightness varies when prerecorded video tapes.

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

You have to reset the timer recording after adjusted the clock setting.

You cannot use the recorder to duplicate copyright material (DVDs or videotapes) onto a recordable DVD, “COPY PROT” will be displayed.

‘VPS/PDC’ is turned on but ‘VPS/PDC time’ is wrong. Enter the exact ‘VPS/PDC time’.

1)Enter the ShowView 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.

You can finalise the disc using the following function:

1)Press OPEN CLOSE on this recorder to open the disc tray.

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

3)Hold down button number {4} on the remote control until the tray closes. ‘FINALISING’ appears on the display panel.

4)If finalising has been successful, the Picture Index screen will appear.

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

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