A message indicates a performance test
failure, and the recording and Timeshift
Mode functions do not work.
• These problems may occur if you use a low-performance USB device that does not support
recording. We recommend using a USB HDD with at least 5 400 rpm, but a USB HDD of RAID type
is not supported.
A scheduled recording has failed. • A scheduled recording is disabled for certain operations (formatting, performance test, error checking,
deleting) that access the file system of a USB device.
• If there is no USB device connected, the TV will not record even if the scheduled time is reached.
• The TV will not record if the USB device has no free memory space. Check that this is not the case.
• If you record a channel locked with Program rating Lock , the PIN input window will appear when
you try to play back the recording.
Several recording devices are connected
but the TV stopped recording.
• If multiple recording devices are connected and the device set as Default Recording Device has no
free memory space, the recording function will be closed. Attempt recording again. The device with
the most free memory space will automatically be set as Default Recording Device and the TV will
start recording.
