bThe TV system of the disc does not match that of your TV (PAL/NTSC).

bThe recording can be made in color only when the TV channels or the connected additional device sends a color signal. Black-and-white signals without color information (color subcarriers) cannot be recorded in color.

bCheck whether the sound settings match the selected inputs and the connected additional devices.

bIf a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD player cannot detect it: Please observe the following 'Minimum recording times':

Recording mode 'M1': 5 minutes, 'M2': 10 minutes, 'M2x': 13 minutes, 'M3': 15 minutes, 'M4':

20 minutes 'M6': 30 minutes 'M8': 30 minutes

1Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the disc but do not close the tray.

2Hold down the number button 2 on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc is modified.

3If this fails to produce the desired result, repeat the procedure using the number button 3 on the remote control.

4You can restore the disc to its original condition by pressing and holding 1 .

Warning!

There is a risk that you can no longer play the disc on other DVD players after this procedure. Therefore, apply this function with particular care.
