Remedy
• Check that everything is connected properly (page 15).
• Check that the connected TV and/or the AV amp/receiver is set to the
correct input.
• Make sure the disc format is NTSC.
• The recorder may be set to progressive scan with an incompatible
TV. Reset to interlace by pressing and holding the front panel  (Stop)
button then pressing  OPEN/CLOSE.
• When the HDMI signal is output, no video is output from the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.
• Make sure that the amp/receiver or TV is set to the correct input and
the volume turned up.
• There is no sound when the picture is paused, or during scanning or
slow motion play. Press  PLAY to resume regular playback.
• DTS discs can only be played if this recorder is connected to a DTS
decoder or DTS compatible amp/receiver. If you have connected a
suitable decoder, also make sure that the Initial Setup > Audio Out >
DTS Out setting is On.
• Some 96 kHz discs do not output audio through the digital jack. In
this case, switch the input of your amp/receiver to analog.
• Check the audio cable connections (page 15).
• If the sound is distorted, try cleaning the cable plugs.
• During real-time copying it is not possible to switch audio channels.
The main and sub channels are both output.
• If the video signal from the external component is copy-protected,
you cannot connect via this recorder. Connect the component directly
to your TV.
• When a copy-protected disc is played via a VCR, the picture will not
display correctly. Connect the recorder directly to your TV.
• Change the recording mode to XP/SP .
• Make sure that the TV Screen Size setting (page 118) is correct for
the kind of TV you have (see also page 139).
• If you have a widescreen TV, check its aspect ratio settings.
• This recorder's input switches into wide mode automatically
according to the input signal. When the unit connected is not
compatible with VIDEO ID-1 (widescreen signalling), set the
connected component to output 4:3 aspect ratio (standard) video.
