Remedy
• Check that the clock is set.
• Make sure a tape has been inserted.
• Check that the safety tab has not been removed.
• Make sure the tape is not at its end.
• Make sure a programme has been set for timer recording.
• Make sure your timer settings are past the current time.
• Check that the decoder is turned on.
• Check that Set-Top Box is turned on.
• The clock stops if the VCR is disconnected from the mains
for more than one hour. Reset the clock and timer.
• Turn the power off and unplug the mains lead.
• Check that OPTIONS PROGRAMM. in the OPTIONS-2
menu is set correctly (see page 91).
• 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
ENR SYNCHRO again.
• The connected equipment was not turned off.
Turn off the connected equipment and press ENR
SYNCHRO again.
• There was a power failure. Press ENR SYNCHRO 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 ENR SYNCHRO again.
