‰On the display BUSY appears with number. The number is 0 when the test is done. Release the

2 PLAY button.

‰After a few minutes, the message changes from BUSY to FAIL or PASS.

3If FAIL appears on the display, there is apparently a failure in your Recorder. Your Recorder should be repaired. Consult your dealer or the Philips Customer Care Center for the nearest Authorized Service Center in your country. The phone number is in your warranty booklet.

4If PASS appears on the display, there is apparently no failure in your Recorder in this case, one failure can be caused by incorrect interpretation of the operating instructions, a wrong disc in use, or incorrect connections. Consult your dealer or the Philips Customer Care Center for further assistance in solving the problem.

5Unplug the power cord, then reconnect it to a power source and use the DVD Recorder again as usual.

System limitations

A DVD+RW disc may not play on certain DVD Video players.

A DVD+RW disc recorded on a different type or brand of Recorder can play, but may not provide all features commonly available to it, such as the on-screen disc bar, the disc settings menu, the title settings menu, and editing.

Refer to ‘Adapt disc format.’ If the disc is erase- protected, the status cannot be changed.

When using manual recording, the DVD Recorder will advise you before adapting the format of the disc or removing non-video data (See ‘Before you start recording’.) When using timer recording, however, the DVD Recorder will always start to record, unless the disc is write-protected. Menus, edits and other data recorded on a different device (e.g. a PC) may be lost.

Because of the Variable Bit Rate, a title map takes up less or more space than the overwritten title, even though the duration is the same. As a result, part of the original title may remain, or part of the next title may be lost. The maximum deviation is five minutes.

When you connect a remote control to the IN RC6 Remote Control Input on the back of the Recorder, the first signals from the remote control may be lost.

After a power interruption during recording, the Index Picture Screen may not match the actual video content on the disc. The last recorded title may be lost.
