Other disc errors (DVD+RW)

Other disc errors (DVD+R), 'Disc contains unknown data'

The index screen flickers when a DVD+R is inserted

If I switch on a device, connected to the EXT 2 AUX-I/O socket, the DVD starts a recording.

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 CLEAR 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 disc that was not finalised. 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:

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.

bYou can finalise the disc using the following function:

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

2Hold down 4 on the remote control until the tray closes.

'￿￿￿￿￿￿!￿' appears in the display. Finalising begins. This may take up to three minutes.

3If finalising has been successful, the index screen will appear.

bThe function 'Automatic Satellite Recording' is switched on.

If the DVD-Recorder is switched off, the symbol 'SAT' appears in the bottom left corner of the display.

If the DVD-Recorder is switched on, instead of the clock, '__:__' appears with a red background in the 'Tuner-Info-Field' (bottom left corner of the screen)

To switch off the function procede as follows:

1Press SYSTEM-MENU .

2Select with B the line 'Record settings' (second menu page)

3Select in line 'Sat record' with D 'Off' instead of 'EXT2'.

4Confirm the change with OK .

5 End with SYSTEM-MENU .
