Remedy
• Check that TIMER OPTIONS in the OPTIONS-2 menu is
set correctly (see page 77).
• Check that the clock and the date are set correctly.
• Check that the VPS/PDC time you set is the correct one
(there might be a mistake in the TV programme guide). If
the broadcast you wanted to record did not send the good
VPS/PDC information, the VCR will not start recording.
• If the reception is poor, the VPS/PDC signal might be
altered and the VCR might not start recording.
• The tape has reached its end. Insert a new tape and press
SYNCHRO REC again.
• The connected equipment was not turned off.
Turn off the connected equipment and press SYNCHRO
REC again.
• There was a power failure. Press SYNCHRO REC again.
• If the settings for timer recordings and Synchronized
Recording overlap, the programme that starts first has
priority and the second programme starts recording only
after the first programme has finished.
• There was a power failure. Press SYNCHRO REC again.
• Check that a tape isn't already in the tape
compartment.
• Make sure you are pointing the remote commander at
the remote sensor on the VCR.
• Replace all the batteries in the remote commander
with new ones if they are weak.
• Make sure the [TV] / [VIDEO] remote control switch
is set correctly.
• Check that your TV complies with SMARTLINK,
MEGALOGIC, EASYLINK, Q-Link, EURO VIEW
LINK, or T-V LINK.
• Make sure you use the Scart cable to connect the
VCR and your TV.
• Make sure the Scart cable is connected securely.
• The recording condition of the tape is very poor and
tracking cannot be adjusted.
• The tracking meter does not appear when playing
back an NTSC-recorded tape.
