Further information

The display or reading of digital images in JPEG format is slow

Image display can take a fairly long time, depending on the size of the images. If the images are too “bulky”, your DVD recorder may not be able to display them correctly.

Recording problems

You cannot record on the disc

If a message is displayed on the screen, press the CLEAR key of the remote control to remove it.

Check that you are using a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc.

Perhaps the DVD+R disc is temporarily locked or definitively locked. If it is definitively locked you can no longer record on it. If it is temporarily locked you can unlock it, see page 56.

You cannot record on the same disc both video images and JPEG photos or mp3 music. Use different DVD+R/+RW discs for each type of recording.

Dirt and finger prints may affect the recording and playback. Please see page 68 of your User Manual for information about proper handling of discs and proper disc cleaning.

Other operating problems

Your DVD recorder doesn’t switch on

Did you move the DVD recorder? Check the power plug: is it well plugged into the mains socket? Also check the power cable jack at the rear of the DVD recorder; is it well pushed in.

Is the mains socket to which you DVD recorder is connected receiving current? Try to plug in a lamp or other electrical device: do they work? Check the corresponding fuse in your house’s fuse box.

The menus or subtitles do not appear in the language you want

With a DVD: the DVD menus are not displayed in your language. Check the disc jacket to see which languages are available. Choose the language of your choice, if available (page 60).

With a DVD: there are no subtitles. Check the disc jacket to see whether subtitles are available. Choose the subtitles of your choice, if available (page 61).

The preferred language for DVD dialogues and subtitles was set upon initial installation of your DVD recorder.To change it, refer to pages 60 and 61.

You can also change the language while a disc is playing by pressing the INFO key and selecting the icon for dialogues or for subtitles.This choice is only valid for the disc if it has not been removed from the disc drawer.

The menus of your DVD recorder do not appear in the language you want

Check that your language is available in the settings menu (page 60). If not, choose another language.

You can’t access the selected menu, even when you press OK

If the name of the menu appears on a transparent background, it means that the corresponding menu or function is not available.The Disc, Titles, and Play list menus are contextual menus: they depend on operations performed beforehand such as:

Disc is only accessible if there is a disc in the disc tray of your DVD recorder.

Titles is only accessible once you have recorded a TV program or video sequence (from an external device).
