Remedy
• Batteries are weak.
• There are obstacles between the remote control unit and
the main unit.
• The remote control unit is far from the main unit.
• There are no batteries in the remote control unit.
• The remote control is not pointed at the remote sensor on the unit.
• Check if a cassette tape is in this unit.
• When static electricity causes the unit to operate
abnormally, unplug the unit and wait a few minutes, then
plug it in again.
• It may take a few seconds for the disc tray to open after
you have recorded or edited a disc.
• The unit may be adding disc data to the disc.
• The unit may still be recording.
• You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors
made by the closed captioning production company may
pass through uncorrected. A prerecorded program will not
show any misspelled words because of the normal time
available for editing the captions.
• Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual
are common for live broadcast. Most captioning production
companies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220
words per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective
editing is used to insure that the captions remain up-to-
date with the current TV screen dialogue.
• Interference caused by building, power lines,
thunderstorms, etc. may cause scrambled or incomplete
captions to appear.
• Broadcasters may at times use a time compression
process to speed up the actual program so that additional
advertising time can be given. Since the decoder cannot
read the compressed information, captions will be lost.
• The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape
duplicating company accidentally left out the captioning
signals during the copying process.
• You are in the TEXT mode. Set CAPTION mode to
CAPTION [OFF].
• If there is a power failure or unplugging during recording,
finalizing, formatting or editing, a Repairing process will
begin automatically just after turning the unit on again. It
may take several minutes up to about four hours.
• You must "Finalize" all recorded discs before they can be
played on other DVD players. Without finalization, Video
mode discs cannot be played back on other DVD players
and VR mode discs cannot be played back on other VR
compatible players (See "Finalizing Discs" on page 54).
• Confirm that the disc is recorded in VR mode and finalized
properly.
• This feature may not be available according to circumstances.
• Not all DVD recordable discs will be played on all DVD
units. This is inherent in the DVD recordable format.
