Remedy

Make sure the component is connected correctly (see pages 16, 17–19).

Press the correct function button.

Please read the TV monitor manual and change the settings accordingly.

Use the same cable to connect to your TV and all your video equipment (see pages 16,17–19).

Select the correct COMPONENT IN SELECT setting (see page 92).

Turn MULTI-ROOM on.

Change the settings to match the cord connected (see page 16).

You can't record sources that have been copy protected.

Connect the component with S video or composite video cords (see pages 16,17– 19).

Hook up the source and the recorder using the same type of video cord. (see pages 17–19)

Press DIMMER on the remote control repeatedly to return to the default setting (see page 56).

Make sure the digital connections (see pages 17–19 & 22–23) and the DIGITAL IN SELECT (see page 91) are done correctly.

Turn MULTI CH IN mode off (see page 53).

Play the source.

Fix the audio settings (check the manual that came with your DVD player).

There is no problem. The indicator won't light when the track is not a compressed digital source.

Choose DIGITAL or AUTO with the signal select button (see page 45).

This is not a malfunction. Check the manufacturer information for the source.

Switch the SB CH MODE to ON (see page 54).

This is not a malfunction. See the player's manual for more details.
