No Power

Press the On/Off switch on the front of the DVD Recorder to turn on the DVD Recorder.

Connect the supplied power cord securely to the AC power jack on the rear of the DVD-Recorder. Connect the power cord firmly to an AC power outlet. Use only the supplied power cord.

Make sure the AC outlet has power by trying another appliance in the same outlet.

No Picture

Make sure the TV power is on.

Check the video cables. Make sure the cable(s) are fastened securely to the Recorder and the TV.

Set your TV to the correct Video In channel. These channels are usually near channel 00. Or, you may have a button on the TV remote control that selects an Auxiliary or A/V IN channel. See your TV owner’s manual for details. Or, change channels at the TV until you see the Recorder’s background picture on the TV screen. You only need one video connection between the DVD Recorder and the TV.

Distorted Picture

Check the disc for fingerprints. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, wiping from the center to the edge in a straight line.

Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not a malfunction. The picture is distorted; the picture is black and white during playback.

TVs have a color system standard, usually NTSC in the United States. If the disc’s color system is different than your TV’s color system, the picture may be distorted or colorless.

The Recorder cannot record in color if the TV channel or source is not providing color. In some situations, programs that are broadcast in black and white cannot be recorded.

Distorted Sound During Playback Through A Stereo

Do not connect any cables from the DVD-Recorder to the Stereo’s “PHONO IN” jack.

Do not connect a digital jack on the Recorder (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT - OPTICAL or COAX) to an analog jack on the Stereo. (Analog audio jacks are usually labeled as such and are usually red and white.)

No Sound

Check the audio connections. Remember, you only need one audio connection. Make sure cables are connected firmly to all equipment.

Select another channel, sound source, or Auxiliary station at your Stereo or TV. See your Stereo’s manual or TV’s manual for details. Or, just continue selecting the different sound sources or modes on the Stereo or TV until you hear sound from the disc that is in the DVD-Recorder.

Check your Analog output settings or Digital output settings. Make sure you choose the right setting; based on what equipment you connected to the DVD Recorder.

Make sure your Analog output settings or Digital output settings match the capabilities of your Stereo Receiver or TV.
