2.Incomplete ChannelView program recorded. Recording device may lack sufficient blank space to make a full recording.

3. ChannelView program recording failed.

• Connection and compatibility issues with IEEE 1394

 

(FireWire®) digital devices. This may include too many

 

Firewire devices in use at one time, or the recording device

 

not understanding the record command.

 

• Television lost power long enough to lose current clock time.

 

• Analog VCR power was left off.

 

• TV energy Mode was set to Low Power. Change TV Energy

 

mode to Fast Power On. Press MENU, open the Setup menu,

 

highlight the Fast Power On radio button, press ENTER.

4. Cannot record to or from the IEEE 1394

• To initiate a recording to IEEE 1394 device, press the

device, including dubbed recordings.

(RECORD) key. The Record menu displays allowing setup of

 

the recording.

The source device for the recording is not powered on.

When dubbing, the destination device for the recording is not powered on.

The wrong medium (analog tape for digital recording, or digital tape for the analog recording) is in the device.

The program is copy protected.

The program has already been recorded once and the copy protection only allows one recording.

Unapproved source device for copy protected material.

The recording device can not decode the copyright signal included in the signal source (try another device if available).

The playing device (for dubbing) does not support copy- righted material.

Source for recording is copyrighted

Too many IEEE 1394 devices in network. Insufficient band- width available. Disconnect unused devices.

Source Device has higher communication speed (S 400) than record device. If possible, reverse devices, play in the slower device and record in the faster device.
