Problems and Solutions (cont.)

1.No power

-Check that the power plug is connected to a wall outlet.

-Have you pressed the STANDBY/ON button?

2.When the power is turned on, the logo is displayed for some time before the picture appears.

-The DHR has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). Because of the time required to initialize the hard disk drive, the logo will be displayed on the screen for about 15 seconds after power-on.

3.The television programme was not recorded

-Check the DHR aerial connections.

-Is the DHR tuner properly set?

-Check the HDD’s free space.

4.Timer recording was unsuccessful

-Was the STANDBY/ON button pressed to activate the timer?

-Re-check the recording start/stop time setting.

-If there was a power failure or interruption during timer recording, the recording will have been cancelled.

5.The picture is paused or an earlier broadcast than the current time is showing.

-The DHR has the Time Shift function (see page 29) so that you can pause the incoming broadcast signal and resume watching the program later.

-Press the PLAY/PAUSE ( ¤ ll ) button while watching a TV broadcast to pause the picture. To resume viewing the broadcast, press the ¤ ll button again.

-If you press the ¤¤ button to watch the broadcast in real-time, the picture will be fast forwarded until incoming live broadcast is reached and played back at normal speed again.

6.The picture is played back at 2X speed in the reverse direction while watching a broadcast.

-The DHR has the Time-Shift function that allows you to instantly replay certain scenes from the current television programming. You can watch the program starting from as far back into the program as the time set in the Setup.

-Press the ˆ ˆ button to play back at 2X speed in the reverse direction during the reception of a TV program.

7.The Copy key is pressed, but does not respond.

-The copy function will only work with DVDs, but if they contain a copy-protection signal the copy operation cannot be performed.

-Discs other than DVDs, such as VCDs and CDs, cannot be copied.

8.The recorded video signals cannot be combined.

-The Combine operation is possible only on the files with the same record speed. That is, it doesn't work if one file is in SHQ mode and the other is in HQ mode.

9.I have forgotten the password.

-In the DVD mode, while "NO DISC" is displayed, press and hold down both the ■ and ¤ ll buttons on the front panel at the same time for over 5 seconds to initialize the password to "1111".

-The password will be initialized to default, but the user setup will remain the same.

-Check the region number of the DVD.

-This player cannot play some kinds of discs. (See page 12)

11.The icon appear or screen.

(3)The feature is not available at the moment.

(4)You’re requested a title or chapter number or search time that is out of range.

12.Playback mode differs from the Setup menu selection.
