Diagnosis program

If the Recorder is still faulty you can start the Diagnosis
Program in the Recorder.
You can operate the Diagnosis Program by following
these instructions step by step.

Instructions

1 Unplug the power cord of the Recorder.
2 Press and hold the 2 PLAY button while you
reconnect the power cord of the Recorder.
On the display, BUSY appears with a counter
number.
The number is 0 when the test is done. Release the
2 PLAY button.
After a few minutes, the message changes from
BUSY to FAIL or PASS.
If FAIL appears on the display, there is apparently a
3
failure in your Recorder. Your Recorder should be
repaired. Consult your dealer or the Philips
Customer Care Center for the nearest Authorized
Service Center in your country. The phone number
is in your warranty booklet.
If PASS appears on the display, there is apparently
4
no failure in your Recorder. In this case, the failure
can be caused by incorrect interpretation of the
operating instructions, a wrong disc in use, or
incorrect connections. Consult your dealer or the
Philips Customer Care Center for further assistance
in solving the problem.
5 Unplug the power cord, then reconnect it to a
power source and use the DVD Recorder again as
usual.

System limitations

A DVD+RW disc may not play on certain DVD Video
players.
A DVD+RW disc recorded on a different type or brand
of Recorder can play, but may not provide all features
commonly available to it, such as the on-screen disc bar,
the disc settings menu, the title settings menu, and
editing.
Refer to 'Adapt disc format.' If the disc is erase-
protected, the status cannot be changed.
When using manual recording, the DVD Recorder will
advise you before adapting the format of the disc or
removing non-video data (See 'Before you start
recording'). When using timer recording, however,
the DVD Recorder will always start to record, unless
the disc is write-protected. Menus, edits and other data
recorded on a different device (e.g. a PC) may be lost.
Because of the Variable Bit Rate, a title map takes up
less or more space than the overwritten title, even
though the duration is the same. As a result, part of the
original title may remain, or part of the next title may be
lost. The maximum deviation is five minutes.
When you connect a remote control to the IN RC6
Remote Control Input on the back of the Recorder,
the first signals from the remote control may be lost.
After a power interruption during recording, the Index
Picture Screen may not match the actual video content
on the disc. The last recorded title may be lost.
