Troubleshooting guide

Before requesting service, make the following checks. If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not
solve the problem, consult your dealer.
The following do not indicate a problem with the unit:
≥Regular disc/video cassette rotating sound. The sound of the disc rotating may become louder especially when finalizing a DVD-R, DVD-R DL,
DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R or +R DL.
≥Poor reception due to atmospheric condition.
≥Image disturbance during search.
≥Operations do not work due to a poor-quality disc. (Try again using a Panasonic disc.)

≥Insert the AC mains lead securely into a known active household mains socket.
≥One of the unit's safety devices is activated. Press [Í/I] on the main unit to turn the unit on.
≥Change "FL Display" in the "Setup" menu.
≥Set the clock.
≥The time on the unit's display and the remaining recording time on the screen may be indicated
less or more than the actual value.
≥The available recording space on DVD-R, DVD-R DL, +R or +R DL does not increase when you
delete titles.
≥Available recording space on a DVD-RW (DVD-Video format) or +RW increases only when the
title recorded last is deleted. It does not increase if other titles are deleted.
≥If you repeat recording or editing about 200 times or more, the remaining capacity of the DVD-R,
DVD-R DL, +R or +R DL is reduced and then recording or editing may be disabled.
(For the second layer on DVD-R DL and +R DL, this happens after about 60 times.)
≥The time during fast forward and rewind, or the process during transfer (copy) may not be
displayed accurately.
≥The displayed recording/play time is converted from the number of frames at 29.97 frames (equal
to 0.999 seconds) to one second. There will be a slight difference between the time displayed and
the actual elapsed time (e.g.,actual one-hour elapsed time may display as approximately 59
minutes 56 seconds). This does not affect the recording.
≥The tape counter does not change while playing unrecorded parts. The "second" display changes
as follows:
(e.g., Blank after 1 h 36 min)
≥The unit's display also appears like this if the tape is dirty or damaged. Consult your dealer if this is
the case.
≥The unit is carrying out the recovery process. Do the following to eject the disc.
(1) Press [Í/I] on the main unit to switch the unit to standby. If the unit does not switch to standby,
press and hold [Í/I] on the main unit for about 10 seconds. The unit is forcibly switched to
standby.
(2) While the unit is off, press and hold [∫] and [CH, W] on the main unit at the same time for
about 5 seconds. Remove the disc.
