Philips DVDR3330H, DVDR5330H, DVDR3300H Recorded DVD cannot be played back on another DVD player

Troubleshooting (continued)

Problem Solution

The recorded DVD cannot be played back on another DVD player.

The message ‘Disc contains unknown data’ appears.

Picture is fuzzy and brightness varies when copying DVD Video discs or prerecorded video cassettes.

‘No Signal’ appears on the recorder’s display panel.

The message ‘Timer overlaps existing timer’ appears.

The message ‘This will clear the time shift bar’ appears.

–If a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD player cannot detect it. Observe the following ‘minimum recording times’. Recording mode : {HQ} – 5 minutes, {SP} – 10 minutes, {SPP} – 13 minutes, {LP} – 15 minutes, {EP} – 20 minutes, {SLP}

–30 minutes, {SEP} – 30 minutes.

–This message may appear if you insert a disc that was not finalised. DVD±Rs that have not been finalised are very sensitive to fingerprints, dust, or dirt. This may cause problems during recording. To use the disc again, do the following :

1) Make sure that the surface of the disc is clean.

2) Press OPEN/CLOSE on the recorder to open the disc tray.

3) Insert the disc but do not close the tray.

4) Hold down button number {5} on the remote control until the tray closes. This recorder will start the repair process.

5) If the disc is recovered, the Picture Index screen will appear. 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.

–This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video cassettes that have been copy-protected. Even though the picture on the TV is fine, the recording on the recordable DVD is faulty.

This interference is unavoidable with copy-protected DVDs or video cassettes.

–The recordable DVD has a limited recording lifetime, use a new disc for recording.

–No signal received. Check that the cable is plugged in firmly.

–If a recording is made from a video recorder, change the tracking on the video recorder.

–This recorder may not be able to recognise the video input signal if this signal is poor or does not comply with relevant standards.

–The timer recording overlaps with another timer recording.

–If you ignore this warning, the programmed recording with the earlier start time will start first

–Change the information for one of the two recordings.

–Delete one of the two recordings.

–The requested action requires the time shift buffer (temporary HDD storage) to be cleared. All contents not marked for recording will be deleted.
