67 Before you call an engineer
A DVD+RW disc cannot be played on
certain DVD players
✓If 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
✓Some DVD players cannot play back DVD+RW recordings. You can solve this prob-
lem by using a special function:
1Open the disc tray with F (Open/Close). 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 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.
Other disc errors ✓If it is impossible to play back a disc, you can try and repair it for new recordings
using the following function. This will only prepare the disc for erasing. It will not be
erased, however, until the recording has been completed.
1Clean the disc
2Open the disc tray with F (Open/Close). Insert the disc but do not close the
tray.
3Hold down CLEAR on the remote control until the tray closes. The disc is pre-
pared for erasing.
4Start recording as with an empty disc.
